Review: Waaay Better Than I Expected! 7 Stars - Along with his own obviously extensive experience, Dave has outsourced invaluable medical information from a medical professional friend of his, and together they have provided us "preppers" with... yet another invaluable resource for wilderness first aid. I pre-ordered this because I knew that I wouldn't be let down and I am happy to say that I was/am not! I like the story examples inside too, very nice touch. There are a lot of books out there on this stuff, but so far Dave's books are the ones I can read and confidently walk away from, knowing that I'm better prepared to face the challenges that potentially lie in wait before all of us who would dare to venture out into the bush and take advantages of what the great outdoors has to offer. Not full of a bunch of stuff that really isn't practical at all. This stuff is practical and positions us so much better to face things as they come along. These tactics will buy us TIME and oftentimes solve the problems we face, and you can't ask for more than that! A bit more humor, perhaps :) This one also has photos of useful plants inside of it, several pages identifying plants that will most certainly come in handy. And if ppl don't know by now to make tea with pine needles for vitamin c, then pay more attention! Dave, your books are all going with me my "friend" whom i don't know!. Wherever I go, in my BOB. Well, the 4 main books. Maybe the last 3.. if I'm comfortable that I've retained all of the first. Also if you have not yet read a certain line of books from long ago (not THAT long ago), please do! You should start with "Rubber Legs and White Tail Feathers" by Patrick F McManus. I am 100% certain that you and/or your whole family would get a big kick out of them. They're extremely hilarious, great stories for a campfire! Or anywhere for that matter. One before bed and you go too sleep with a smile, and it takes 5-10 minutes max for each one. My mom used to read the short stories to us as kids. They're SO great! Thanks for another killer read. For those of us who are interested in this sort of thing, it's a page turner, filled with nothing but useful, concisely written golden nuggets of information and I have absolutely no doubt that they'll help myself and others thru me many times while I'm here, alive and kicking, post-apocalyptic or not :D Do NOT allow the following to be a discouragement or to prevent yourself from getting this book. I stand by what i am saying about this book being absolutely invaluable. This book really does contain expert medical advice for just about everything you can possibly think of, and then some. It is completely packed full of necessary information that will save countless lives, i have no doubt whatsoever. There's not much more i can say about this! Buy the book or you're a dummy lol how's that? If you don't get this thing you're just not that smart! It will save your life if you're ever in any of the situations, no joke. IF i had to pick one thing that would be a con, it would be at the parts where there isn't enough detail, where we're left hanging without any further advice on where to go. Things that are super important.... Yes the book would be 3 pages longer, but if a revised edition were to be made, it really should include some further detail on what to do next in certain situations. For example, it talks about a broken bone, protruding from the leg. Well, putting a soft blanket or something of the sort over it and keeping it there, then awaiting professional medicals to come and save the day is all well and good. But what if you're on a four month trip and you're a week out and have no cell reception. I mean, i need to know how to set the leg. Is this not why the PHD Jason Hunt is co-author? So, another paragraph is DEFINITELY in order. You can easily put up a disclaimer, but.... i suspect it's to avoid liability from somebody screwing up with something so serious. But the way i see it, if you can tell us how to create a vent for a sucking chest wound like a bullet, then you can continue on with what to do after that! But it stops there.... How do you set a leg after it's broken? For the chest wound when sepsis is setting in, how do you fix that or is the person just going to die? We don't only need to know how to make a vent, we need to know what to do if there is no help on the way, because we are after all in the bush! Do we suture the wound and if so, how do we know when to do this? How do we know if there's infection there in that wound where suturing would be a bad idea? Same with the bone thing... Other than that, it's my only only con. It is only some of the very serious, life threatening situations where the medical advice stops at the first step and then you're left wondering how to proceed from there if there's no help on the way. Another example is a tourniquet. I have a medical professional tourniquet. But when the book describes using one (only if it's ABSOLUTELY) necessary, it says to use it and then wait for medical professional. Another part where we're left hanging, wondering what we should do after that. Again, is the person just going to die if the femoral artery is severed and that's that? It says we don't want to risk a clot if we remove the tourniquet. Great advice! But what do we do to prevent that? Should we fully flush out the wound again, removing any clotted blood, then remove it and apply more pressure if it's bleeding because we flushed it again? There are other examples, but not a ton of them. But these are legit questions! So i hope there's a revision honestly. I have post-its all over the place with further questions for how to proceed.... All of which i will be answering myself from research and writing into the pages so that this book is a solid go-to when it is needed. Looking forward to future books! Jon
Review: Great for anyone! - Great information for anyone. The information in here is great for helping anyone, whether in the city or the outdoors. This alerts of many possible hazards - great for novices with a lot to learn or for a quick resource for those with experience. It lists some great details on prioritizing care for self or others. I love the sample scenarios! This is a book to read before venturing out. Most importantly for novices, it brings an awareness that adventuring in the outdoors comes with additional risks and it is important to be aware of skill and difficulty level. Great illustrations and supply checklists.
