    Default The latest Mantracker...

    The last two guy's had a compass and a map and could not stay on course and actually doubled back by accident after going three miles in the wrong direction... They were so confused as to where they were half the time that they actually won the event out of frustration of the tracker.

    I cannot imagine such poor skills in the bush...

    well you haven't seen some of my friends from down on the bayou...one of them got lost with a GPS...now that is horrible.
    Take almost nothing I say seriously--if it seems to make no sense what so ever it's probably meant as a joke....but do treat your water!

    I thought at least one of them (actually, both of them) got caught, but I suffer from CRS.

    I am surprised that so many get caught.

    Im not, so many show up to play the game thinking in terms of checkers, He is on another level of playing the game like chess. The folks that get into this make very interesting mistakes.

    the woman can't catch their breath, make too much noise and continue to talk. The men make obvious mistakes with the compass, (attention to detail) None of them get on the trail early on the second day. Few ever work up to the required distances. None up to now have practiced any steath in their track to the finish.

    I just saw the show for the first time. Are there any rules that the prey must adhere too?

    You would think a really good adventure racer or orienteerer would do very well. They seem to get a wide variety of participants. These last two were urbanites for Toronto if it was the show I watched. Alot depends on the terrain at the finish.

    i caught todays episode from the middle of the show to rite before the ending. the two guys put on neopreene wet suits to ford a river while trying to escape. i had to leave so im not sure if they won or not..

    as for the rules, im sure they must have some guidelines that the contestants need to follow.

    Did you see the episode where the girls won!

    Yeah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fviZqz9Tb9E

    There were mistakes, but they did some things right.

    Nice scenery up there in Canada, by the way!
