Pocket First Aid and Wilderness
Medicine: Essential for expeditions: mountaineers,
hillwalkers and explorers - jungle, desert, ocean
and remote areas (Techniques) by Drs. Jim Duff and Ross Anderson
This
conveniently sized guide is an invaluable point of
reference for all who travel and take part in
outdoor, wilderness and mountain activities. Written
by doctors with a wealth of wilderness specific
experience, it provides a comprehensive summary of
wilderness first aid and medicine - that is,
managing accident or illness in remote locations
without immediate access to help - giving you
confidence in your ability to deal with any
situation that may arise.
All topics are clearly referenced and easy to find,
with chapters covering preparation, prevention,
accident protocol, diagnosis, treatment and
evacuation. From life-threatening emergencies to
broken bones and sprains, infectious diseases, food
poisoning, envenomation and respiratory problems,
the book sets out all the crucial protocol and
procedures to follow. It covers a wide range of
different environments, including high altitude,
desert, polar, tropical and marine, dealing with
risk management and a variety of different
scenarios. In addition, suggestions for first-aid
kits and lists of medications and antibiotics (with
dosage) can be found in the appendices. Minimising
risks is part of the challenge and satisfaction of
wilderness travel.

Survival Medicine & First Aid:
The Leading Prepper's Guide to Survive Medical
Emergencies in Tough Survival Situations by Beau Griffin
Survival Medicine that
Works
After a disaster, there’s a single, vital skill that
very few survivors will have. Fighters and builders
are important, but there is no survivor so valuable
and sought after as the one who can help out when
illness or injury strikes.
As any good prepper knows, thinking ahead and
planning ahead will enable you to live a good and
healthy life completely off the grid. The ability to
care for the sick and injured? That’s one of the
most important preparations you can make.
Hi, I’m Beau Griffin. I’m an expert survivalist and
I’ve had a lot of practice at living off the beaten
path, making my way with nothing but a set of basic
tools and my own experience to sustain me. I’ve
tested out the territory and learned by doing and
now I am here to put that knowledge to good use:
teaching you how to be the emergency responder that
you and your loved ones will NEED after a disaster.
In this book, we’ll cover:
The golden rules of a first response to make
sure your patient survives
The key items you’ll want to include in your
disaster first aid kit
How to diagnose common maladies and injuries
– and how to help
... and much, MUCH more.
The medical techniques in this guide have been
proven to work – thousands of times over! I’m going
to show you how you can be prepared for the
inevitable illness and accidents that will occur
after a disaster.
All it takes is time, attention and practice to
transform the knowledge within these pages into a
basic knowledge of first aid and diagnosis that will
save more lives than you might think once medical
assistance is no longer available.
