What's going on guys black Scout survival and today we're talking about the five methods of man tracking and uh you know there's a couple different type of trackers really there's like mainly two types and you have a combat trackers and you have professional trackers combat trackers are usually guys military guys or you know various law.

Enforcement agencies as well but you know you'll what they do is is that they track and they kind of like take all the Intel us gathered and kind of like make a judgment or hurry up and get to a place so they may it may be a couple a few different teams and they're doing leap frogging around you know they may track a certain way and they figure out.

This as if they see something off in a distance that they think that the subject could be or the court could be going towards and so they'll send a team in front to try to catch up with them so they you know like roadblock and we're dead in them then you have you know so they may not go sign a sign for you know combat tracking but a professional.

Tracker you know like a search-and-rescue or wherever he may follow actual sign sign sign sign you know and for most of us that would be the beneficial thing is you know signed a sign you know man tracking as well as animal tracking these same principles will apply but anyhow the five things are displacement stains weathering odor.

And littering a litter and so some of these are a lot more complex and have a lot of you know variables in them whereas litter is pretty self-explanatory and if you're you know infantryman or you know SF range knowing that and you know combat arms you know that all those little techniques that you know you do like jumping up and down.

Noise light and litter discipline all those things is what basically you're looking for and tracking but also the physical evidence that's being left or sign that's being left in an environment but anyhow let's kind of talk in depth about each one of those so let's start off with this placement this placement is whenever anything is moved.

From its original position and a lot of times the the biggest thing with displacement and tracking is displacement of soil so one of your foot hits the ground and the soil seeps up runs your foot on moist soil obviously this placement does not occur on asphalt so in every step in the soil goes up run your chute.

That's displacement another thing that you can consider in displacement is let's say you're walking you step on a rock and the rock is buried into the ground and the edges of the dirt is now cracked around the rock like you smush it down into the ground also a more obvious thing of displacement is possibly somebody coming through an area.

With a machete and hacking down brush you know moving through an area and they're leaving you know chopped limbs and stuff like that you know that may take a lot longer which would which will be considered a permanent sign you have temporary and permanent signs you know temporary is the soil you know being stepped on that will fade over time like.

Foot you know various footprints will fade over time with weather and then you have permanent which is like maybe chopping so permanent displacement and temporary displacement so those are two aspects of that when you're analyzing footprints they can give you a lot of information about your quarry or you know the vet could be a group of people.

You can see the sex it could tell you you know if they're trained or not it could tell you the direction of travel and it could tell you if they're trying to you know lose you or use a counter tracking measures you know by trying to cover up their Footwear walk backwards and stuff like that so the biggest things going to man and woman walking.

And I'll try to do a video on you know actually the tracks portion of this in the future but basically women's feet face inward to straight whereas men's face more outward you know and usually smaller feet on women and shorter strides and larger feet and obviously longer strides on man there's a lot commonsense stuff but it's good to state.

It another thing is is that usually when people are walking they're going heel to toe heel to toe roll you know and so if you're trying to you know use counter tracking measures or you know trying to trick your tracker you're going to what trail walk backwards and it's going to be the toe is going to be more indented versus the heel so you'll see it more.

Refined or refined toe print versus the hill print it should be the hill print vice versa and that should you know be what you you know basically check your stride from its hill the hill and that's we check your link of the stride and a lot of times that can give you your individual and help you track them for a longer period of time so if the you know.

Stride is long and the prints are deep usually that indicates running you know and it would be more of a forward you know depth on that track versus if somebody's moving slow and carrying a load they're going to have a much shorter than normal pace of stride and deep footprints you know because extra weight and.

They're not going to strike their stride ain't going to be as why that's somebody you know walking normal those are a few things that you want to keep in mind when you're talking about actual tracks says we're going on a list staines is the next thing and stains is which is ink staining a surface so a lot of times especially in combat striking us or you.

Know you know law-enforcement tracking government agency tracking blood to be the biggest stain indicator you come across and blood could be you know from a gunshot wound person gets injured trying to you know rapidly move through a fenced area and cuts themselves and blood it and always you know if you're a hunter blood it noise on the ground you.

Know if you a hunting hunt deer and you follow a blood trail you can be on leaves and brush and stuff like that so you have to you know look at the top sign of bottom sign if you don't know what that is I'll put a link to a video at the end of this video where you can learn the basics tracking 101 type stuff but that blood transfer could be on.

Leaves and trees and stuff like that one real cool trick and I'll do a video later on this showing this technique but basically a good way that you know combat trackers figure out blood is that a cure you know law enforcement trackers figure out if it's blood is that they'll carry a small spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide spray it on the leaf or ground.

Or whatever to see if it's blood and what it does is it bubbles like when you put hydrogen peroxide on a cut it will do the same thing now understand time could also change things like a blog to get crusted like if you see like one of your wounds you don't clamp becomes Brown and crusted so you have to understand and just pay attention to.

Whenever you cut yourself injure yourself you could do testing to see you know what the blood looks like over a course of time that will help you in tracking a lot of things are like that just like weather and we'll talk about what tracks and amend the same thing also for standing you have mud transfer tight stuff and this is very like on the.

Lines with displacement but you know mud make you make climb out of a creek bed and the mud is on your hands or something you touch a tree or limb trying to get up and you leave a mud spot or mud on leaves where stuff is not supposed to be so that's a couple things could be you know anytime you that you leave sign for something else onto.

Something else and it stains it and it could be a permanent stain or it could be a temporary stain so the next indicator we're going to come out is weathering and weathering is what you think the weather affecting indicator such as you got rain can washout tracks you have wind that can blow track you have you know when that could blow.

Debris into tracks cover it up you have you know odor the wind blowing and moving the odors or smoke that could be left from a camp fire cooking or you know dog tracking teams so weather is a huge either benefit or problem in a tracking scenario and a lot of times best time of track is when the Sun is extra back and the wind is at your face.

So it gives you the smells and the Sun is creating that shadow in the tracks for you versus facing the Sun like Sun being in your face so those are a lot of things that you want to consider and a good thing you can do is is just take a look at go out in your backyard walk around a little bit and create some tracks and.

Then every day go look at these tracks every couple of hours look at these tracks the first day and then every day every day going for for the next week look at the track and see what the weather does if it rains create new tracks you can see what happens after rain or there's a nice windstorm you can kind of see what happened those.

Tracks based on the weather that would give you a good idea of how weather effects tracks I'm a hit on the last two kind of together because they're very you know comments much pretty much common sense and as well as we've hit on this and a lot other videos before but odor obviously smelling keeping your your smell alive you know smelling.

Tobacco use you know fire you know cooking you could smell deodorants and stuff like that that's why you know we used to tell our Marines you know keep keep is you know blame as possible and use a lot of Axe body sprays on crazy stuff you know keep your scents under control you know be very natural and me personally I use the type of stuff that.

Nonsense it that's used for hunting whenever I was in the military that's what I used so we can give off you know crazy sense and stuff like that but that's you know odor common sense and you know basically if you do use tobacco now like smoking it's going to you know inhibit your use of smell so understand that like you know if you smoke it's.

Going to be harder for you to smell smoke on someone else so anyhow then litter another common sense saying how we talk about noise light little discipline watch a video at the end of this video civil box and then I'll show that video but you know litter it can tell you a lot of different things and tell you how prepared the individuals.

Are if they're you know well trained or not how fresh the litter is if you you see a rusted cannot probably in from your quarry you know it's probably go to understand that has to be you know kind of fresh and just it gives you a lot of Intel pick up on you know the size how many people if it's a lot of you know MREs or something some large groups of.

People and obviously they're not trained because they're just on the trash out so that's a you know I know this is pretty quick video and it's a lot to take in but what I'm going to do is there's a few books that I'll put in the description below from Amazon different tracking books you can pick them up learn them tracking is a skill believer.

Not that you can really teach yourself I know it got self trained trackers but it's one of the best I know um you know just he just call themselves reading books and actually applying it and using it you know an animal tracker a man charger one of those I know so anyhow like there's just something that you need to go don't just watch the video.

Grocery put this in menus do the things make a little shadow I mean a little try spots like I said outside watch the weather and all that sort of thing so and how guys like so wait to the end of this video see the other little videos and click on those and get further information about this subject and subscribe if you have sex watch the.
