 Just perfect! August 22, 2009
Debra Dawkins
Thank you for having this book in your inventory. We are in the backwoods a great deal and I needed a guide that was small enough to carry, but comprehensive enough to be of value in the backwoods. This book is the best of its kind I have found. Thank you for your timeliness in sending the book and thank you for the book being in better than advertised condition. I will definately be checking the books you offer!
Great gift for the hiker/camper in your family January 21, 2009

I bought this for my back packing camper son. He gives it five stars. Since he/wife are now taking their two young children with them, he especially appreciated having a go to resource for medical questions. Practical approach to 'medicine in the field".

The authors are EMT's and have had wilderness experience. The book is similar to a number of other books on basic wilderness first aid but is lacking in at least a couple of areas. Various ways of making an improvised stretcher (litter) were not covered. Getting help and communicating with SAR is not covered. What is covered is all patient assessment and standard first aid as is protocol for EMT's. I was disappointed there wasn't more application to wilderness situations. "Medicine for the Outdoors" by Paul s. Auerbach is far more complete and deals better with the harsh realities you face with medical issues in the wilderness. I gave it 3 stars instead of 2 because it might be a starting place for someone with little experience in first aid. I would also like to see these types of books talk about prevention, at very least as an introduction to the topic.
A very well written book January 9, 2007

This book is written by a Mountain resquer and is so full of information you will want it in youre library for future refrence and continue to read it so you can keep absorbing information out of this book.
 Good introduction to wilderness first aid July 20, 2006

Medicine for the Backcountry is a great general-purpose guide to wilderness medicine in the U.S. and Canada. For anyone needing to educate themselves on wilderness first aid, or in need of a book to take along on an extended trip, I can highly recommend it. I give it four instead of five stars only because it doesn't cover some of the more esoteric third-world illnesses and treatments.
