Mantracker
Meet Mantracker. Chad Savage brings a wealth of tracking experience to the job. As an expert guide in terrain as varied as Mexico, South America, Africa and most of the Rocky Mountain chain from Yellowstone to Yukon, he’s tracked the big game, but he’s also trained in the fine art of spotting and interpreting human sign. Add to that his better than 20/20 vision and this season’s prey better be good at ducking for cover.
Raised in the shadow of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, Chad Savage grew up hunting and working with horses. After early training with the Air Cadets, he worked in the Alberta oil patch, but returned to his true calling during the recession of the 1980’s. He’s been a professional guide since the early ‘90s, traveling from Alberta to Northern BC, the Yukon and Northwest Territories, as well as exploring the wilds of the US, Mexico, Africa, Australia and Asia. What sets him apart? It could be his better than average eyesight that enables him to spot movement at a ridiculously far distance, or simply the countless hours spent tracking such a wide variety of species. He’s also studied the art of tracking humans – certified by the acclaimed Emergency Response Institute of Canada. But really, Chad Savage just brings his own unique skills and persona to the job – He is the MANTRACKER.
Throughout each half-hour episode, a pair of perfect strangers from different walks of life team up and attempt to outwit and outrun Mantracker to the finish line. For an adrenaline-charged 36 hours, the pairs travel through extremely difficult terrain in regions including the Yukon, Alberta’s foothills or Northern Ontario. Trekking through deep woods, rugged rock face and rushing rivers, the prey has a head start but Mantracker has a horse and these adventurers have a target on their backs every step of the way.

Watch your show all the time very enjoyable. I would love the challenge with one very good friend. But I would not except because of the camera’s and it would be the best show. My friend Richard would flip if he only knew what I had in mind. Would be from River Valley to the train station in Sudbury.
