FSAR's own Coby, Seb, and Mal put together an informative seminar about man tracking Saturday May 4, 2013. MASAR members from all over the state attended including Maine search and rescue Dogs and Maine Mounted Search and Rescue.
Combining classroom instruction with small groups learning outside on actual tracks, the instructors were able to impart a variety of tracking strategies to determine the speed and direction of a victim or fugitive.
The culmination of the day's session was a scenario where each team worked together to identify a track laid earlier in the day. It was a challenging exercise with the dry conditions but both teams succeeded in finding the trail and following the track.
