Tom Brown, Jr.

“A true warrior is not one who fights, but one who protects life.”

“Tracking is not just a physical skill, it is an art, a science, and a spiritual path.”

“The wilderness holds the answers to questions we have not yet learned to ask.”

“Every track tells a story. It is our job to learn to read it.”

“The earth does not belong to us, we belong to the earth.”

“Awareness is the key to all things. Without it, we are but blind wanderers.”

“To track is to become one with the animal, to feel its spirit, and to understand its life.”

“In the silence of the wilderness, we can hear the voice of the Great Spirit.”

“The more you know, the less you need.”

“Spirit is the life that flows through all things.”

“Survival is not about just staying alive, but about living with the earth.”

“Walk with reverence, and with a keen mind and an open heart. The earth has many lessons to teach, and she is always willing to share them with us.”

“Fear is the greatest enemy of the survivalist.”

“Grandfather taught me that the earth is a living, breathing entity.”

“Look for the sacred in the ordinary, and you will find it everywhere.”
