Wilderness First Aid: A Folding Pocket Guide to Common Sense Self Care (Outdoor Recreation and Survival)

Got this for my husband to carry when he's hiking. This is in his first aid pouch he carries. If he ever needs it he has it. Best to know ahead of time, how you might react to a emergency. This is a nice tool to carry just in case.

While I am happy with the product, the description could be better. This is simply a "fold out" waterproof guide that gives a brief explanation of how to handle a variety of first aid emergencies. It is NOT a wilderness first aid manual. It covers stopped breathing, hypo/hyper thermia, shock, bleeding, burns, eye injury, bandaging, and insect bites. The first aid described is simple, but effective. I bought this to add to a Boy Scout first aid kit. It is just fine for that purpose. It is certainly not a comprehensive guide to wilderness first aid.

Good to have for review before a trip or in the field.

A great, super light weight and durable information packet. I'm a light "doomsday prepper" with mainly a bag and minimal resources to get me started, should I ever need to. This was perfect for my bag and I know if I ever need it, it will be in my bag and I'll be able to reference it with little effort. Very simplistic yet detailed and great for beginners like myself.

Well worth the money. I got a series for my daughter's emergency bag which she carries in her car for trips home from school. The size and durability are added benefits. I personally prefer more pictures and less writing.

Not really valuable info. Weight and space is critical while hiking. The info in this brochure is super basic, if not inaccurate. An example is it says to gently shake someone and ask if they are ok, well I hope they don’t have head, neck, or spinal injuries. Another section says use a tourniquet as a last resort after trying to stop bleeding for ten mins?! People bleed out in tourniquet situations in mins and the new methodology says use fast and first. Just a few examples where I was shaking my head.

Fantastic reference in case of emergency - grab one and add to your hiking pack, youe Bug-out-bag, or just in th etrunk of your car. Easy to read, simple, but extremely useful instructions on basic and intermediate first aid with limited resources.

Got this to take car camping and backpacking. It has some good useful tips and is easy to store in a backpack, but due to its size it's prone to getting bent easily if things move around. So far it's proven to be quite durable though.

lets start on a positive note, it's light weight, waterproof. well thats the good bits. its well over priced its not abook but a laninated leaflet which i nearly put in the bin by mistake due to its size it looked like abit of juke mail that you sometimes get with your deliveries. I do wish i had not wasted my money on this item and some of the information was out of date.

worth having, no BS information
