True, and while Ray Mears probably has better tracking skills than the lass in the local chip shop, I would warrant his name was brought up by a bunch of senior police managers in a meeting along the lines of:

'Well, this Moat bloke is an outdoors fellow, likes camping and sees himself as a bit of a survivalist, I have seen a chap with a programme on the BBC that is into all of that, he does flint napping and antler carving and everything. He can come up here, catch the blighter and lots of our boys can follow him around and learn some new skills'

Ray Mears arrives ferried in from his home in Sussex in a military heli, is taken out to the woods with lots of armed cops and others where he is shown Moats camp - a sheet of plastic it looks like someone has slept under.

I suspect Mears will have asked if:

1. It was just a random bit of plastic, or if some one had seen some one near it that would have been sleeping under it?

2. Where do local farmers, hunters, gamekeepers and runners think he would be taking route wise and where would this lead?

3. Where did the dogs lose the scent?

I would wager the answer to all three was 'Erm...'

There is help, there is correct help and there is using help wisely.
