For those who are new to trailbuilding, or haven't been able to attend an IMBA trailbuilding workshop, here's a starter that will give you some of the basic info you'll need.

I highly recommend watching all the videos in order, as the principles outlined in the early chapters are referred to throughout the rest. More than that, I'd recommend doing the IMBA workshop, or working with experienced trailbuilders and learning by doing it.

The original DVD was about 40 minutes long, but for YouTube, it's split up into an Intro plus Eight chapters.
