Thank you for helping preserve my fathers many works

Greetings Family,

About the Auction:

Many years ago when we were leaving my child Hood home, the Tracker farm we had to erase 20+ years of our presence there and it involved a lot of burning and a lot of dumpster runs. Thankfully, I saved not only the illustrations but countless other pieces of memorabilia that were just about to be tossed into the fire. Ever since that day over 20 years ago, I have carried these boxes with me through 13 moves in 12 states not quite sure why they were just always part of the move. Thankfully, I held fast and now have a way to help out when I have nothing of my own to offer monetarily

How it Works

I've come up with several different iterations of the auction system and now that I've got my fire back and my vision is clear. I have a whole bunch of classes. I need to tweak a little bit and a few new ones. I need to create therefore running the auction weekly is incredibly time-consuming. That's why the final offer on this page will be to make an offer on the entire collection. I have left which I am filming the video of now. There's also a few items such as first edition number one copies of certain books I am debating letting go, but I find myself needing to in order to bring my own vision, the one I promised my father I would fulfill all those years ago. The process is simple check out the video for each theme of illustrations and if you want a closer look at one, let me know and I'll send you a close-up shot of it. You can make an offer on the entire collection or a few drawings in the collection, etc. Basically everything must go!

Random Brown paper bag journal page

Judging by the handwriting and my study of paper and how it ages, I did this sometime around 1979 to 1980. I wish I had a better scanner so you could read it fully, but in a nutshell, it is my father talking about the glorious spring in the Pines, and my beloved Whip-or-Wills.

Whats left: this is a fairly accurate, but rough count as I still have some other boxes to go through. I will break things down by subject matter.

  • Bone Tools = 3

  • Shelter = 5

  • Hide work= 5

  • hunt and fish=18

  • Flint knappping =5

  • Water = 2

  • fire = 3

  • food caching =3

  • containers = 2

  • cooking = 2

  • Traps = 28

  • Sign Tracking = 3

  • Original 4x5 tracking guide= 1

  • Anything on this page is included in this collection and I know I have more of each. That was just a late night rough estimate to give you an idea!

Wiki-Up Shelter

Camp Skill Illustrations

Remember, you can make an offer on the whole package or individual drawings

“Huntin’ and Fishin”

My Personal favorite

Illustration of a person crouching inside a primitive shelter made of sticks and leaves, starting a fire. The shelter has a triangular frame and is covered with natural materials.
Illustration of a traditional thatched hut with a conical shape and an open entrance.

1980 Sit Spot/Observation/Brochure

A truly one of a kind piece. My father ran a class at this park and scribbled around it on the brochure you can see are his sit spot notes, and random observations. Dated September 4, 1980

The Whole Collection

Organizations on both coasts are being hit hard by fires and my follies. This is your chance to own the entire collection—at the right price! I’ll be posting a full inventory sheet soon, but I can already tell you this: it includes MANY illustrations and other unique items.

Sketch of a wigwam or tepee-like structure made of interlaced poles and covered partially with thatched material on the base, set on a plain background.
