I agree! I could definitely benefit from this skill. It would be a benefit to my physical health if I could handle stress better. :wink:

Tracking is such a sweet activity, especially if you can do it with ease. It's fun and sharpens the brain to think critically across different situations. I would love to possess such skills .

I would love to have the amazing skills that Sarah possess. Tracking trails in a rainforest days after being used is absolutely amazing and all these skills sharpens the brain.

I agree with the posters who said they would like to learn languages easily. I have tried learning some for years, it's very difficult.

Even if it wasn't related to tracking, I would love to have their great observational skills. I can never find anything and sometimes don't notice when things are changed. Sarah would never miss a beat.

Johnny's interpersonal relationship skills is an amazing skill that I would love to learn and master. It is useful in ways more than one in different situations.

Me too. Sarah's tracking skills are something I'd love to have. They'd definitely come in handy when it comes to surviving the wilderness.

All my nightmares have to do with natural disasters and my inability to get safe in time. Does any character possess the necessary survival skills against that? ;)

Yes, and maybe then I can learn to stay calm in the face of toddler tantrums and rebellions as well!
