Survival in the Aussie bush isn't just about finding water, food, or making a fire — it’s about knowing how to call for help when your phone’s out of range and your last flare is now bird nesting material. Today, let’s talk about an overlooked but crucial skill: crafting animal-like tracks that say, “Hey mates, come find me, not the kangaroo.”
The Art of Hand-Pressed Tracking
When it’s day 78 and your supplies are dwindling, your sense of humour starts competing with your survival instincts. One pro tip? Press your hands into the soft dirt in creative ways. This isn’t just art — it’s communication with anyone who might be passing by (and no, not just Trevor from the servo who’s always “lost”).
Classic ‘Human’ Tracks: Press your open palm sideways, then use your fingers to create toe impressions. It’ll look like a curious bush creature that’s walking upright. Trust me, it’ll grab attention.
Message Patterns: Create symbols like arrows or exclamation marks to signal urgency. Feel free to add a cheeky smiley face; it’ll be the most Aussie SOS out there.
Kangaroo Misdirection: Press both fists down side-by-side to mimic kangaroo paws, but add a twist by dragging your knuckles to create a tail line. Perfect for letting anyone know you’re still full of beans after nearly three months.
A Final Tip
Pair your new skills with some bush banter. Leave an imprint that says “Lunch?” followed by footprints heading towards the nearest (but fictional) pub.
Stay sharp, keep laughing, and remember — if you spot a kangaroo following your tracks, you’re in for a story.
