Mantracker (Terry Grant) Interview 2007
Imagine being plunked down in the woods somewhere with someone you met just hours ago. The clock is ticking. You need to reach a pre-determined area to be safe. That area just happens to be 40 kilometres away. You've only got a small backpack with just the bare essentials... and a time limit. 36 hours. Reach the finish line in 36 hours or less. Sounds fairly simple, doesn't it? Oh - and you're being stalked.
Your tracker is experienced, though you've got a head start. Your map and compass will come in handy, but taking the easy route will surely lead to capture. Capture means 'Game Over', even if you are mere yards from the finish line. Leaving no tracks is your best bet but when you're sprinting through the bush trying to evade the Mantracker, that's no easy feat. He's on horseback and although he doesn't have a map or compass, his guide (who's knowledge of the area is flawless) knows every ditch and riverbed you could possibly hide in.
With a strong background in forensic tracking and search and rescue, the Mantracker (known as Terry Grant to anyone but his prey) can pick up on even the slightest hint of your presence. An overturned rock, for example, can tell him which direction you were going.
This is all fun and games, of course. Mantracker is a reality show which runs on the Outdoor Life Network. Terry Grant plays Mantracker, a role he got by a little luck and someone who is, no doubt, his favourite cousin now.
