Product Description

Synopsis

This book goes far beyond traditional first aid and embraces a new philosophy in wilderness medicine education. It brings to fruition a juxtaposition of more than ten years of research, clinical experience, and teaching into a powerful guide for those who travel far from modern civilisation. The book is unique in that it specifically addresses the components included in most adventure medical kits when discussing the treatment of medical emergencies, and it introduces a myriad of improvised techniques that empower the reader to provide meaningful emergency care when the first aid materials are not readily available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information and easily understood., 23 May 1999

By A Customer

Anyone who does any backpacking, remote travel, or other wilderness activities will find this book very useful.

The advice is excellent and the improvised techniques are important in wilderness situations when equipment is very limited.

The size is small enough to fit in a first aid kit, backpack, etc.

The book is well worth the cost and could the most valuable item in your first aid kit.

It is also a recommended book for several local hiking groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars Search and Rescue volunteer, learned lots from this book., 15 Sep 1998

By A Customer

I am a search and rescue volunteer and I have learned a lot from this book, with the help of Survival Instructor Fred Coring with the CHP. Anyone who likes the wilderness and/or travels a lot should get this book and keep it with them all the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Handy little book, 9 Jun 2009

By	C. Rowan "Mash" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a handy little book to included in your first aid/ medical kits, however it does need slightly updating on some of the Life supporting techniques and the only cringe worthy thing in it which I had rather hoped had died a death many years ago is the inclusion of safety pinning the tongue to the lips or cheek, not really required in any circumstance with the use of other less drastic techniques. ( yes even in the wilderness).
