About First Aid Books
First aid kits are essential on outdoor pursuits, but while putting a dressing on a wound is fairly straightforward, what about more nebulous and difficult medical situations such identifying the early stages of dehydration, or dealing with diabetic complications? A medical field guide can be invaluable in these types of situations, and improves one’s facilities to moving beyond mere trauma and into wider range of physical ailments (choking, cardiac arrest, poisoning, neck and spinal injuries) as well as neurological and physiological disorders. Invaluable when doing longer expeditions, or in remote areas where help or rescue may be days away, a good medical field guide can literally make the difference between life and death.
