Thanks! Dakota is quite shy, and his Dyslexia prevents him from experienceing a lot of success in school, but in the woods, he shines. We're using the strategies in this vid to develop intuitive tracking skills in our adult as well as our kids programs.

WTH????????

This is part two of our three part kids series. This particular approach to learning tracking ha been used the word over and is now being applied by profesional athletes, special operators, and the corporate world to train, compete, and obtain goals. Last in the serie will deal with lost kids in the Maine woods, then it's back to the mored aged audience with winter survival skills. Patience, we haven't lost our bearing, just broadening our audience.

? I'm rather confused. I thought this was a survival chanel, not an amature kung fu thing.

Animal Forms are used t train the young to learn via pluging in their whole body in to the experience. This can be applied to all skill sets, but most obvious applications are the tracking art (vital for hunting and trapping) and self defense. Both of these are taught at the school as part of the broad spectrum suit of survival skills. As a survival school, this is our first vid on teaching and learning skills of native cultures.

A perfect example of empowered youth. While our culture tells kids to stay indoors and play video games, he is out actually interacting with reality in a way that will leave him with the wisdom bred of experience and none of the insecurity that results from a lack of sense of place. His confidence and sense of relationship is the most valuable skill one could ever have in a survival situation. He's his own being, and that's what we have lost more than anything, and it's killing us.

This video is an excellent view into what it means to be an aware human. Putting yourself into the mindset of an animal would obviously assist one in tracking that animal. How best to put yourself in that mindset than to move like one? I plan on teaching these forms to adults and children alike who need to expand their outdoor awareness. I look forward to researching the movements of as many animals as possible in order to expand my tracking and animal knowledge. Thanks for the inspiration!
