Hey, I’ve been mapping goat trails and rating moss softness on a 5‑point scale – it’s the only thing that keeps me out of trouble on the backcountry. I wonder if moss could serve as a reliable marker for tracking animals or even clues in a wilderness forensic case. What’s your take on using natural growth as a digital breadcrumb trail?

Moss can hint at a timeline, but it’s a fickle marker. Its growth changes with light, moisture and temperature, so you can’t count on it alone. If you need a breadcrumb trail you’ll want something with a predictable decay rate or a chemical signature that sticks around. Use moss as a side note, not the main evidence.

Sounds about right. I’ll keep my moss scores on the side, but trust a little pine resin or a damp rock mark when I need a reliable breadcrumb trail. Thanks for the heads‑up!

Glad it helped. Stick to the things that actually leave a record, not the moss. Good luck on the trail.
