About this episode
"True awareness starts with connection—to nature, to people, and to our environment.Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Fred Osuna, a renowned expert on advanced human tracking and anti-tracking skills. We dive deep into Fred Osuna’s background—from growing up in southern Arizona as part of the Yaqui tribe to his time in the Marine Corps and his transition to teaching tracking to elite law enforcement, military, and civilians. Fred Osuna shares the philosophy behind Greenside Training, blending indigenous wisdom and modern threat recognition, and how situational awareness, fieldcraft, and even simple games can revolutionize perception for adults and kids alike. We get actionable tips on anti-tracking, situational awareness in everyday life, and even tracking game for hunters. Plus, Fred Osuna unveils his work in cognitive behavioral science to help operators and first responders down-regulate after high-stress encounters.
