5 out of 5 stars Extremely well written, A must read! Very informative!   August 20, 2010
Debbie (mount vernon, wa)
Never did I expect a treatise on tracking to be an engrossing page-turner. But that is exactly what Mr. Diaz accomplishes with this dual track work. He explains tracking from the basics (so someone like me can sink his teeth in and immediately start practicing skills), right up to advanced work that would be applicable to Search & Rescue types. He displays no condescension, bravado, or arrogance, but the quiet confidence of a man whose skills have been honed through experience.
As the story line that ties the instructional material together progresses, you get the distinct feeling that Mr. Diaz has more intimate knowledge of these types of events than he's let on.
Mr. Diaz is a class act. I highly recommend this book to all.



5 out of 5 stars Great book on hunting man   February 8, 2010
K. Manning
I thought this was well worth the read, and thought the "fictional "real-life scenario" broke up the read a bit and kept my interest. This is a good introduction into man tracking. With plenty of information on how to expand your own knowledge through other sources and experimentation. Would reccommend to anyone interested in the subject.


2 out of 5 stars Not as good as I hoped...   July 30, 2009

Honestly, this book simply didn't help me much beyond my intermediate skill level. An absolute beginner won't gain much from this book as the basics just aren't covered that well, and an intermediate tracker will already possess much of the information presented here. There is some good information on how to decipher how old sign is, but this completely ignores the fact that there are so many potentially different environments. (Not every place in the world will have worm castings and spiderwebs to help us gauge the time for example.) The book appears to be aimed at a long-term tracking session, and doesn't seem to consider that there are situations that will take less than a day. If your goal is to learn how to track, or improve your skill level, I would highly recommend Tracking : A Blueprint for Learning How, which is much better suited for the non-military trackers.


3 out of 5 stars A reasonable tracking book, but not great   January 6, 2009

The military slant of the book is in keeping with the author's realm of experience, but I feel Tactical Tracking Operations by Scott-Donelan to be a better reference. The inclusion of a fictitional "real-case scenario" example interspersed throughout the text was a distraction, rather than a help. One positive is the section on forensic issues, which could potentially be useful for any tracker. The section of following blood spoor was also interesting. Overall, however, the book seemed little more than a re-hash of existing military tracking books - it is certainly not in the lofty category of classic tracking references such as Tracker by Joel Hardin, Tracking: A Blueprint for learning how, by Jack Kearney, Tracking: The Origin of Science by Liebenberg, or Paul Rezendez' excellent animal tracking book.

The endless blank military forms at the end of the book also make it appear bigger than the book really is, and would only interest the die-hard military tracker, who already knows of them and uses them.

Overall, David Diaz has fallen short here.



5 out of 5 stars Interesting Stuff!   December 7, 2008
Angela Pettera (California)
This is a book about tracking humans in the wild. It's detailed enough to work as a textbook for a class on tracking people, but it's interesting enough to be enjoyed by people (like me) who have no desire to wander into the woods after someone else. I particularly like the narrative that's threaded throughout the lessons which illustrates the exercises. Interesting stuff, even for someone who used to know absolutely nothing about hunting people.Tracking--Signs of Man, Signs of Hope: A Systematic Approach to the Art and Science of Tracking Humans
