I would love to have them all if possible yet being supportive, courageous and vigilant will top them all. Because tracking demands vigilance, following a leader needs you to support them no matter what and courage will just be the force there to push you to discover and explore your full potential.

Learning a new language is indeed difficult, but like Jonny, I also like to learn them quickly. Also, I want to learn handling situation calmly because this is a thing that I lack.

I grew up in and around the woods so having Sarah's tracking skills would have been awesome! (I still live near the woods, I just don't go in them as often now. :lol2: )

Johnny really impressed us with his skills of fast leaning. It seems cool and very convenient. But the most important thing that I like about Johnny is the way he earned the respect of the bandit chief. It was what led him to gain the book.

Survivor skills without a doubt. I love watching shows like man vs. wild and survivorman, so having those skills would be a must.

I was constantly amazed at how easily and quietly Sarah was able to move through the jungle.

Me too! I would love to be better at learning languages.

If I could have Warramunga skills, I would choose to have Sarah's realistic bird calling talent and her uncanny ability to sneak up on others undetected. :eusa-shhh: :P

Sarah's tracking abilities would be incredibly useful!

I am honestly not sure what any of the other skills would be considered Warramunga specific though. Everything else seemed like you would pick it up through military training.

Considering this is the only book I have read of the three, I most admire the way both Jacko and Sara work together and the love between them no matter the situation. Their tracking skills are off the wall however without the closeness they share some situations could have been more complicated. I long for that closeness between siblings and have never experienced such love.

I also was impressed with Jacko's faithful study of his phrase book. I also appreciated the way he treated and looked out for his sister. And at the end, he whisked his girl off her feet!

Not yet read the book but Johnny's skills can be a big thing for me. Learning and understanding other peoples language is important

I would like to have tracking skills of Sarah. I enjoyed how she could follow the trials in those thick rain forests even days after they had been used.

Tracking that well would be amazing. I'm quite directionally challenged

Also planning, reading people's intentions, even when one does not speak their language and, of course, learning new languages (which I am actually doing, but not in an emergency situation like Johnny in the book).
What language are you studying now? I'm not really good in planning so I guess I'd take that one as well. Reading people's intentions is something I'm good at and boy it really comes in handy whenever there is a tense situation, and I hope I won't be able to use it being surrounded by captors and bad people.
