This weekend I've spent in the pleasant company of SARInfo Sweden during their course called Track and Clue Awareness. Vallentuna; just outside Stockholm, stood for a spectacular scenery and nice weather. Tracking is a fascinating subject that one never can learn enough of. Thanks to brilliant instructors like; Clive G. Swombow, Hans Larsson and Patrik Andersson it's easy to get inspiration to go out there and get some more dirt time tracking.
No matter what you're tracking; game, man or other object, there's a couple of aspect always to consider. For instance; knowledge about the objects behavior, experience and condition. Also an understanding of the laws of Physics; mechanical, material and time, is vital.
