JCIP #292 - Kyt Lyn Walken

In episode 292 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Kyt Lyn Walken. Kyt is a qualified man-tracker and the Founder of her own tracking business, The Way of Tracking. Kyt’s father was obsessed with western television and movies and he introduced her to man tracking skills from the age of around 5/6 years old. In 2012/2013 she got into survival skills professionally and found a school to learn how to do it. She underwent three courses in Arizona in the United States, then moved to Virginia to learn from the man who would become her tutor, before finally learning to become an instructor in 2017.After starting her own school, she saw a gap in the market and wanted to provide a bridge between forensic teams in the police and search and rescue. She created a specific programme for search and rescue teams to help put them in the mind of a missing person and what conditions they might have which would impact their behaviour i.e. autism, dementia and alzheimer’s.In this episode we discuss her journey into man-tracking, becoming a qualified expert, starting her own business, the three principles of tracking she follows of ‘Identify, Decipher and Follow’, as well as how the Stoics and their principles have shaped how she approaches the process of tracking.For Kyt’s mental health journey, we discuss the sudden loss of her mother at the start of 2023 from a very aggressive form of cancer and the impact that had on her mental health.As always, #itsokaytoventYou can find out more about The Way of Tracking here: https://thewayoftracking.com/You can follow The Way of Tracking on social media below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewayoftracking/You can follow Kyt on social media below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kytlynwalken/Support Us:Patreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpukPayPal: paypal.me/freddiec1994?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GBMerchandise: www.redbubble.com/people/VentUK/shopMusic: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvkSupport Us:PatreonPayPalMerchandise
