Class 701T
The Tracking School was started in 1997. It is
a total immersion week long program. It is an intensive practicum on Pressure
Release tracking.
This school draws from both American Indian and
Military tracking techniques, and adds the regimen of "Team Tracking" to
enhance the effectiveness of the trackers.
Students are expected to
have basic knowledge of tracking as a prerequisite, and be ready to live the
trail for a week to become fully proficient. They will be expected to return as
instructors. The program specializes in pressure release tracking. The subjects
of environment awareness, individual survival, field medicine, and other topics
will also be featured.
This school will be very close to nature, and
expects a familiarity with Pressure Release tracking, as taught in the Advanced
NJW GSAR School.
The school trains
students in fundamentals of Tracking. Upon completing this course you will have
proficiencyin missing person search procedures, safety, survival, tracker team
building and search techniques. This is accomplished through comprehensive
