"An outdoor educator Mark Warren opens the door to experiences with wildlife such as: - how to stalk animals of the wild without being detected by their keen senses. This discipline addresses posture, clothing, diet, de-scenting, and 'soft-walking,' the ultra-slow-motion technique that falls below the radar of wildlife's peripheral vision. - how to read individual tracks and multiple gaits of specific animal species. - how to convert animal skins into rawhide and leather for crafts and clothing. - how to differentiate species of snakes and, in the process, demystify their often misunderstood intentions. The second half of the book is dedicated to games. Its main purpose is to ensure that young ones (under an adult leader) simply have fun on an outing and will want to return to nature for another adventure."
