Tactical Tracking-Alabama

Postby bear the dog » Tue Mar 20, 2012 3:00 pm

Here are some photos of the tracking class taught by Jimmy Dunn this past week in Fort Payne, Alabama.
Great group of people and I learned a lot from Jimmy, David, Spaz and Tracy.

Hugh Coffee (author of Ditch Medicine) http://www.paladin-press.com/product/Ditch_Medicine/Survival_Medicine
was there to lend his expertise in combat medicine, with his own brilliant fashion.

Hugh Coffee and I lived in the Jimmy’s woods during the duration of the class. There were a few rainy nights, but it was fun.

The Most Dangerous Game.

P.S. I don't know what you're stuffing up that poor guys nose but stop it.

P.S.S. Take the giant bowie knife and chop the giant centipede up with it.

P.S.S.S. Cute puppy.

when they ask how you feeling
you tell em you feeling like something important died screaming
you tell em you feeling like something even more important arrived breathing
something you should probably try feeding

He trained pilots how to evade. Apparently no one could ever find him when he was playing hide and go seek.

I was there covering it for a story, but there were a few times I thought we were all 7 years old again.
Actually, they were playing cops and robbers.

looks like it was fun except for the gay old white alabamans trying to stay relevant in the war on terror.

if you all could drop the gonna-get-osama-act but stick with the nature trips, camping, and delish breakfasts, you'd be a lot less of a joke.

and next time invite a black person. and not just for target practice.
