Perfect Information for Boondocks Travel or Living!,
By BEAR CLAW TOM "stormyalaska" (PAYSON,Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilderness Medicine, 5th: Beyond First Aid (Paperback)
I actually owned and read a much earlier version- listened to the advice- set up my 'Traveling Medical Kit'- and really appreciated the clear and concise medical information- and NOW- an updated version- many new ideas interspersed with time-tested procedures and meds- If you spend any time at all in the 'boondocks'-or just travelin'- You need a copy of this book- >and get copies for your kids too-when they get out on their own! This manual is good, practical and will prove itself in the reading of it- and putting into practice it's wisdom- That Dr Forgey- he's something else!!

Don't leave home for a wilderness trek without it!,

This review is from: Wilderness Medicine, 5th: Beyond First Aid (Paperback)
William Forgey, MD's Wilderness Medicine appears in an updatedfifth edition to provide the latest details on assessing medicalproblems while in the wilderness. It goes far beyond most first aid manuals, covering soft tissue care and trauma, infections and diseases which may evidence themselves far from medical care, and treatments which can take place in the field.
