    Ah, the outdoors, so good and nice...except when there's a deranged cowboy chasing you with a lasso. That sounds like a horror movie plot, but it's actually the plot of an old Canadian survival show: Mantracker. Come along as we take a close look at this insane tv show, and bask in the beauty of old Canadian broadcasting.

    My friend had a mantracker themed birthday party at a local ranch. They just dumped like twenty prepubescent kids, myself included, under a bridge along a river and told us to find our way back to the ranch without being caught by the two adults on horseback who were chasing us. I remember diving into a bush to avoid the horse. Core memory

    This is how you win Man Tracker:
    Run through the densest part of the forest for as long as possible. Man Tracker's horse can't go there because the trees.
    Swim across a lake. Man Tracker can't smell you if you're under water.
    Save your poops in a bag for six months beforehand and drop one in the middle of the road every twenty feet. This sounds counterintuitive because it'll create a trail, but Man Tracker will have to stop and inspect each one for clues and fiber content, buying you precious time.
    Go the wrong way. If the finish line is 2 km to the east, they expect you to head straight east to the finish line. Instead, go 40,073 km to the west and you'll end up in the same place because the world is like a bean.
    Move to France. Cowboys can't go in France.
    Buy a Prius. Prius fastest than horse does.
    Hooray.

      in Australia, we (without ever watching or hearing about mantracker) developed a similar game called follower. the key difference is that the mantracker/follower runs on weeping angel rules in our version- can't move while being looked at. it adds a lot of theatre to the game, where the follower is expected to act more like a d&d than an opponent.

    So according to Wikipedia: "[Manhunter] has indicated that the camera crew has him stop to prove where he sees tracks and also has at times sent out false Prey and production staff to prevent him from just looking for the actual camera crew. Additionally, the Prey's camera crew often change footwear, and are expert woodsmen who often mask their presence in various ways"

    The finish line is only for the contestants. If mantracker gets to the finish line it doesn't matter, he only wins if he captures them. He has camped the finish before, but only when he's closer already and has no other choice. There's no point rushing to the finish and waiting because he can usually end it much earlier, and it can take a long time for the contestants to get there sometimes, they get lost, sleep, argue, hurt etc lol

His fat son came with us for some reason and he showed us all the hiding places so we hid with him. The guy came back on his horse and passed right by (he had told us that the horse had super hearing and scent and that it would stop if it smelled or heard us) and then we kind of just stayed there for a little while then he blew an air horn and we all went to the road and got picked up.

    I think the rule was the Man Tracker can't get off the horse and he had to catch the meatbags with his rope (camera crew was off limits). That made him faster than the meatbags but the meatbags could go places his horse can't. In reality a tracker would just shut down the area and starve the meatbag out.

    A little backstory on Mantracker from another Canadian:
    This man's name is Terry Grant, an expert tracker who worked for the RCMP (basically the Canadian FBI) to track down fugitives and missing persons. Canada has a lot of forest and wilderness lands, so criminals sometimes try to escape the law through these areas. He's tracked down and arrested hundreds of criminals and rescued many lost backpackers/kidnapped children. Although I'm pretty sure he's now retired, he still occasionally works with the B.C. police to track down dangerous wanted criminals.

    • @noahthenarwhal3345
      @noahthenarwhal3345 Před 2 lety +334

      The RCMP aren’t like the FBI, they’re just a police force. The closest equivalent to the FBI would be CSIS, which is kind of a combination of both the CIA and FBI. (I know that’s not the point of your comment and you’re just trying to explain to Americans but I just had to say that lol)

    • @akuiper2654
      @akuiper2654 Před 2 lety +221

      The RCMP has no equivalent in the US. They are a federal police force that does function like the FBI in some ways, but they’re also the only police in a lot of areas of Canada, so they do regular police work. CSIS is the intelligence agency and are most like the CIA I’d say.

    I always thought it sucked that all the women lost. I don't think I ever saw one of the women contestants win even once. THere was even an episode where they got caught within a few hours!
    People would bring coyote piss to scare the horses, and would leave weird stuff to fuck with Mantracker. Mantracker would find random hikers along the trail and try to capture them by mistake.

    I remember watching this awhile back 😆 then there was the time we had Terry go to our school to talk about the show and one of the teachers was obsessed with him. Such a random time.
