Wilderness Emergency Care

Even the most experienced and prepared trekkers can find themselves in precarious situations when exploring the wilderness. In these cases, time is of the essence, especially when resources are limited and professional medical care is not close by. This practical and easy-to-use field reference is a must-have companion for field workers, campers, SAR responders, and those who spend time in remote wilderness locations. It includes tips for dealing with commonly encountered injuries and conditions, wound care, emergency situations, nature hazards, and outdoor exposure risks--all while being portable enough to fit into a pocket or chest harness. As an added bonus, this lightweight, 12-panel folding guide is waterproof, allowing it to stand up to rigorous field use in all conditions. Profits from the sale of this guide support ongoing training by NASAR, which administers credentialling evaluations and testing programs that meet or exceed CSA, ASTM, NFPA, and FEMA standards. Made in the USA.
