Excellent and one of the best of its kind... and maybe the only of its kind. This is not a backpacking book as some might think, it is still too heavy except for trips where supplies are taken in by others or air dropped. So if that is why you are considering this purchase look for one of the NOLS Wilderness First Aid Field Guides or similar. On first look as you page this book you might think you are over your head on this purchase. Lots of Doctor speak but take your time and do some study on what is being said. Use an online search engine and in no time you will get over your thing about Doctor speak. I have about 20 Wilderness First Aid / Medicine books, including the "Big ONE" by Paul Auerbach "Wilderness Medicine". So which one do I pick out when I want to do some study on a First Aid issue? Well it is my Field Guide to Wilderness Medicine and my Wilderness First Responder book. Depending on the problem and how much time I have to study... will determine which one. But it is now down to either one with the Field Guide leading by a nose. What I like is that these books get down to the issue at hand and help to make sure you are on the right track as you get to the issue. NO BS! So if you are looking for a great smaller book on Wilderness Medicine / First Aid I would recommend you look at this one.Read full review
The field guide is a must have for those predisposed to the eventual destruction of our way of life, especially our ability to seek medical care once widespread destruction and widespread social unrest occurs. The book is well written with many illustrations and instructions on how to handle and care for most medical situations that may occur while being unable to seek professional medical care.
