 |  | Avoiding Footprints
< on 3/5/2004 7:31 AM >
|  | | | Having some burlap strips to tie to your feet can greatly reduce your footprint around a site.
If entering a site under remodeling or construction, its good to have several foot-ties to avoid tracking material from outside inside a structure, and to avoid tracking material from one section of the site to another. Simply change your foot ties when you enter a section with a different kind of ground.
I've had a site go under heavy surveilance due to tracking construction dust onto a newly dried deck.
Watch your tracks.

|  | | | Does that work on the same principle as brushing tracks in snow out with a pine branch? Smooths the surface of the snow, or in that case, brushes away the traces in dirt or dust. Any other tips, anyone?

| | | | basicly the same idea. You have to tie it around your feet as well though. Dont have it dangle off and you need a pretty good layer of it. It displaces your foot prints well.

| | | | naa doesnt work. They still will leave prints. if you padded the bottoms inbetween the shoes and the plastic however it may work. basicly thats what the burlap does. I believe there was a thread about this a while ago as well.

Not as much of one, and not as obviously human.
Also, add or remove layers going between territories with different kinds of dirt or other trackable material to avoid leaving footprints between territories.

| | | | You could have some real fun with footprints if you felt like it. Make it seem as though you walked straight off an edge lol of coarse to do this youd need to cover up some of your tracks anyways.

| | | | In one of the more famous and "newsworthy" murdercases min Norway (Orderud-murders), the perps used thick woolen socks outside their shoes to make footprint identification imposssible. It's a good idea, but I think it would look a little suspicious if I got caught... (The sock has become famous, and even is a recurring character in an editorial cartoon). To save the socks and avoid picking up dust, use a plastic shoe cover outside. (As suggested earlier).
And the road goes ever on... |

| | | | Well come to find out everything leaves a foot print I learned a good deal of tracker stuff and wow. Now for forensics they cant get your foot however they can check fibers making it a moot point.

| | | | Just strap on your handy-dandy, wrist-mounted web-slinger - spin a web from an available ceiling (or wall, if you're really good)....and swing over the entire area without leaving a single footprint.
The trick then becomes, how to remove all telltale signs of the residual web goop. Perhaps an environmentally-friendly dissolving web formula.

| | | | Prolly a pain in the butt to walk this way for long periods of time, but in my SWAT training, we learned to walk on the outside edges of our feet. This makes a mark on the ground, but not a foot print. Also if you roll your foot on the ground that way instead of putting your foot flat down, you can virtually make no noise at all, even in crunchy dry leaves ( with practice ;) ).
