This conveniently sized guide is an invaluable point of reference for all who travel and take part in outdoor, wilderness and mountain activities.

From life-threatening emergencies to broken bones and sprains, infectious diseases, food poisoning, envenomation and respiratory problems, the book sets out all the crucial protocol and procedures to follow. It covers a wide range of different environments, including high altitude, desert, polar, tropical and marine, dealing with risk management and a variety of different scenarios. In addition, suggestions for first-aid kits and lists of medications and antibiotics (with dosage) can be found in the appendices., This conveniently sized guide is an invaluable point of reference for all who travel and take part in outdoor, wilderness and mountain activities.
