Overview
Developed in collaboration with the National Association for Search and Rescue, this guide is a practical field resource for hikers, campers, and outdoor leaders who may face medical emergencies far from professional help. Wilderness Emergency Care for Search & Rescue provides step-by-step guidance for assessing a patient, controlling bleeding, stabilizing fractures, and managing shock. Sections also cover common wilderness health issues such as hypothermia, heat illness, dehydration, bites, and stings. Easy-to-follow illustrations and clear instructions help you respond quickly and effectively in stressful situations. The guide also highlights what to carry in a compact first aid kit and offers tips on improvising with available materials. A quick-reference checklist ensures you're prepared before heading into the backcountry.
