Simple Survival Tips - Making Tracks

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Many times hiking or
wilderness trails are not very well marked. This makes it extremely easy to get
off trail and out of sight. While many lost hikers are found within a
relatively short distance of the trail or their camp, the process can be a lot
simpler if you make some tracks first.

Wildlife doesn’t have the
option of having a set of tracks that will distinguish them from one of their
own kind. Humans on the other hand wear shoes on their feet that often have a
distinct and easily recognizable pattern. This can make you easier to find if
you become lost or wander off the trail in the wrong direction.

Merely leave a photo of the
tread of whatever hiking shoe or boot you are wearing in your vehicle at the
trailhead or back at camp. If you don’t have a photo, make an impression on a
sheet of tin foil. You can also simply use some dirt in a box to leave an
impression of you tracks. This will make it easier to find you, especially if
others have been using the trail.

Along with a message of
where you are headed and when you expect to be back, leaving a set of
footprints behind will also help if someone needs to find you.

Got tracks?

Staying above the water
line!
