5.0 out of 5 stars
Handy guide by highly experienced authors,
By Jim Morrison (Hansville, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountaineering First Aid: A Guide to Accident Response and First Aid Care (Mountaineers Outdoor Basics) (Paperback)
This is a great guide to the basics of first aid in the mountains, whether it is a climbing or backing situation. For a fairly short book (170 pages or so) it covers a lot. Combine this with the chapter on first aid and alpine rescue in "Mountaineering the freedom of the Hills" (same publisher) and you have about everything you need. "Medicine of the Outdoors" by Paul S. Auerbach, M.D.is more complete on many medical aspects, if you are looking for yet more information.

Safety above all else,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mountaineering First Aid: A Guide to Accident Response and First Aid Care (Paperback)
Although this book may not cover EVERY detail about back country survival, it definitely gives some good pointers whether a person is in a large group or a small one.Mountaineering is a dangerous sport, and the tactics and procedures in this book can be applied to every day situations as well. This is a definite must-read for anyone who is responsible for another life -- from trail guides to backpackers to parents to babysitters -- it is a must-have for every household!
