Riassunto

<span>Anyone who has spent even a little time outdoors has come across strange tracks left by animals or people and wondered, &ldquo;What was here?&rdquo; In this practical guide, former-SAS member Bob Carss shows how to track any moving thing, in any environment, and under nearly any circumstance. He begins by explaining common terms, such as a &ldquo;top sign&rdquo;, markings left above ankle height; &ldquo;pointers&rdquo;, signs that tell the general direction of the quarry; and a &ldquo;conclusive sign,&rdquo; markings that confirm the quarry&rsquo;s presence. The difference between tracks left by quarry and false tracks are described, as well as how a pattern of signs builds into the tracking picture &ndash; the overall movement, direction, and motivation of the quarry.
