Mantracker

[Zarlak]

Anybody watch it? It's pretty decent, basically 2 people get a 2km headstart and a map to reach a destination, they are then pursued by an expert tracker with 27 years experience in search and rescue and his friend on horseback through the Canadian wilderness, they don't know where the 2 people 'the prey' are headed, they don't know the direction they are going either, they just see a flare 2km away and have to go there and determine the direction and follow tracks without knowing the destination.

It's pretty decent, I'd love to do it for real.

I saw this when I was in Canada. At first I thought it was great, then I realised the Camera crew probably stand out a mile and it must be fixed. Especially in one scene when the tracker was on a bridge and the prey were hiding under it and it was all captured in one beautiful shot by a camera crew that must have been standing in a stream about 20 feet from the bridge.

Some scenes are shot afterwards for dramatic effect, once the race is over with the camera crews etc.

They also send out fake camera crews to throw him off and each camera crew are expert woodsmen. I'd love to do it for the experience. Let's do a Caf one.

Sounds interesting, I'll watch the pilot tonight.

It's pretty entertaining. It's also interesting to see how few times the people actually get away, with - presumably - no cheating from the tracker. He doesn't even know which direction they are going in from the start.

I always think of you when I watch it, in a no homo way, out there with a horse and an M4. Running round Canada.
