Tracking Ground Cloth

Take this Ground Cloth with you on all your adventures. Designed using water-resistant waxed canvas, metal grommets, and our super useful Tracking Bandana. You can stake it down, string it up, or clip the corners together, and fits in a back pocket, stowed in a haversack, or clipped on a backpack.

CRITERIA AROUND ANIMALS ILLUSTRATED

We partnered with tracking experts to help guide us in choosing the list of animals that would allow you to have the most success with this bandana. We requested animals that met the following criteria:

• Found across the majority of North America
• Most abundantly found in the wild
• That may indicate water nearby
• That are easy food sources
• Most useful for side-by-side comparison

FALSE EYE SPOTS

These are a form of mimicry adapted by various insects, birds, fish, and reptiles, as well as by some human cultures. The bandana can be folded so the “eyes” face outward and can be worn on the back of the head to serve the same purpose, or worn on the front while napping.

Beau Harger is our local tracker. He took us out in the field, got our feet wet (and almost got Dustin stuck knee-deep in mud) and gave us the hands-on crash course in tracking. He’s been an integral part in the design of this product and made himself available at all hours of the night to answer questions and continue pushing this design in the right direction.

Jonah Evans (www.naturetracking.com/) is also a fellow Texan with about 2 decades of tracking experience (and who knows how many certifications) but still maintains the humble life-long student attitude, realizing there is always more to learn. He even has an app called iTrack Wildife that is a great learning tool to combine with this bandana.

Mark Elbroch (www.markelbroch.com) helped bring the CyberTracker program to the U.S. and literally wrote the books on tracking. Not just any books, but the books with the most accurate and detailed prints available. He partnered with us to provide the artwork for the bandana and we truly couldn’t have done it without him!
