Wilderness and Travel Medicine: A Complete Wilderness Medicine and Travel Medicine Handbook (Escape, Evasion, and Survival)

I am a health care professional. There is a lot of information in this book that is very useful and accurate, but unfortunately some that is also very wrong. I can't recommend the book for a lay person b/c a lay person would have no way of knowing what the critical mistakes in the book are. The American Red Cross has free e-publications covering both basic first aid and wilderness first aid which can be read on just about any platform. The Red Cross publications aren't as extensive, but at least a lay person wouldn't have to worry about the information being wrong. If you are a lay person, play it safe and get your information from an authoritative source.

This book is very useful for anyone who wants to travel in the wild and know what medicines to bring. It is very informative, real and provides some handy techniques. I am glad that I purchased this book as I am a beginner to these kinds of travels. I am certain that I will be using some of the skills in this book. Fury, does a good job keeping it simple but informative.

Not being in a medicinal field professionally, but having experienced quite a bit of life, this guide appears to have a great rundown on a plethora of issues, simple to not-so-fun. Good marks for including both mainstream and natural medicines and approaches. 'Prime' allowed a free e-copy but I chose the 'analog' version that always works when the power goes out!

I got this and one other book for my brothers first birthday away after he joined the Air Force he loves it

The link code at the end of the book for free further reading did not work. a good comprehensive guide. Well organized and clearly explained, through.

This book has complete instructions on how to take care of illness or minor injuries while out in the wilderness or traveling. I'm traveling soon and I've already downloaded mine and will take it wherever I go! This is surely one book I won't leave behind.

I highly recommend the wilderness travel and medicine book to anyone wanting to enjoy the out of doors 100%?

For everyone

Anything from Sam Fury and Survival travel is a must have.This book will prove invaluable because it teaches you how to medically take care of yourself when there is no emergeancy services around. The contents will save you life!

Be careful. This is a self-published book, about life-saving medical matters by an author with no medical qualifications. Author does not claim to be a medic, ex-military but has an interest in survival, martial arts, etc. Seems to have no relevant qualifications or experience, and therefore has questionable authority to write such a book. Tread carefully...

Comprehensive and easy to understand. Well written resource for the BOB.
