The Best August 4, 2006

The drawings are clear - if a bit crude. A novice will learn and enjoy just flipping through the book. It may take a few hours to digest everything crammed into a single chapter or even a few pages. Carrs is a very good communicator, though, so this is an excellent tool for teaching and learning.

In the brief of the book, it states the information was gleaned from FM 7-42, That is incorrect. The five Sgt's that wrote
FM 7-42 are all graduates of the SAS tracking school that Bob is writing about. That information was a result of the SAS trackers during the Borneo and Malaya insurections in the 1950's. FM 7-42 was not written until 1970 and approved in June 1973. I was one of those five Sgt's. David Scott-Donlane, author of Mantracking is also a graduate of that school. I would highly recommend both books if you are interested in tracking an armed enemy.

I bought the SAS Guide to Tracking on the sole purpose of needing a book to read on a long red-eye flight. Instead, this book has changed my whole outlook on the outdoors!
No, this isn't a miracle book that will help you track your prey just like Sam Fisher. However, this book WILL help you to further appreciate the outdoors. This SAS Guide goes into teaching animal prints, outdoor features, and general observations. It'll help you to notice these kind of things. It also covers more in-depth topics, such as how you can tell the gender of a deer by looking at the height of it's tracks in the mud.
The SAS Guide to Tracking is quite an interesting read for anyone interested in the outdoors, animals, or tracking.

One of the best books on this subject
This book covers much more than tracking fundamentals, it gives you a clear picture on how to conduct a patrol in hostile territory with lots of detail and fist hand experience. Examples are vivid and realistic; writer has obviously been there and done that. I read some other books on this subject but others are more inclined towards pure military operations. I would recommend this book to a search and rescue teams and trainers as an excellent theoretical base. It also has several chapters on how to train other people with clear and easy to comprehend instructions. Not to forget this book is an easy reader (unlike some other books on this subject). Highly recommended.

This is a very good reference for tracking. I would suggest this book if you are going to do any type of tracking. I use it as a reference for our Search and Rescue Team.Ted Fisher
