Basic Essentials Wilderness First Aid, 3rd (Basic Essentials Series)

Very basic first aid book--Perfunctory
This is a concise first aid book. yet, for me, I didn't think it had too much to do with wilderness first aid. There wasn't anything on evacuation (improvised litter, going for help, moving a victim over difficult terrain, for example). The illustrations were good. There are a number of books on the same subject that are more complete. Price is right.

A comprehensive, essential reference
This slim but content-packed volume goes far beyond the rudimentary information in most wilderness first aid texts. Forgey devotes the majority of the text to a readable explanation of how the body produces, retains, and loses heat, providing practical advice on avoiding hypothermia in the first place. The final third deals with the recognition and treatment of chronic and acute hypothermia, with ...

Another fine book from a great series
The basic essentials series are terrific little books. Long enough to provide everything you need to know about a topic such as wilderness weather, outdoor cooking, or backpacking, yet short enough to keep you from reading too much extra and unneccesary stuff. Camping can be dangerous even for the most experianced, things happen. You need to be prepared and this book will help you, in addition I ...

Wilderness Medical Society Practice Guidelines, 2nd

wilderness medical society practice guidelines
The information on each topic was well organized and levels of care were discussed. I also liked the fact that when there was a difference of opinion concerning treatments each was discussed. There were no illustrations and the book is not a text for teaching wilderness medical care. Even as a trained First Responder I found some of the discussions were very tecnical and called for knowledge ...

Great resource for telling stories
This is an easy book to tell stories from. There is a good section at the begining of the book, giving tips on how to tell stories At the end of each story, there is a review of the story in point form so you don't have to read them to your audience. You can actually "tell" them the story. The stories are adaptable to many settings and I have used many of them around different campfires for ...

Fireside Fun!
It is an excellent book. Take it from an Eagle Scout that this is a must have book for scout leaders and parents that go camping with their kids. I liked this book because of it's easy storytelling style and helpful outlines at the end of each story that I could follow but tell the story like it was my own.
