These guys can run on tracks for hours on end and make up for hours the enemy walked at night, often running down six day old tracks in ten days. Granted, the fine sand of the Namibian bush is perfect for tracking.

Just finished another David Scott Donelan tracking course heard his stories of his days in the Selous Scouts and later SAS and how tracking skills were key to tracking down and killing the communist terrorists sponsored groups crossing into Rhodesia. He says he knows all these guys from his days and said he even taught some of them. Love it damn in a few years when I retire maybe I will contact STTEP and work for them if they would have me, they fight war the way it should be fought.
Just curious if you knew or had worked with any of these guys since you guys are from the same area?
