Book Description
Treat the problems you and your scouts or family might encounter when you venture into the great outdoors! A concise first-aid approach to common wilderness problems: Wounds, sprains, breaks, bites, and stings, cold and heat injuries, and problems of eye, ear, nose, mouth, and abdomen. The Basic Essentials of First Aid for The Outdoors was designed specifically to demonstrate legally safe state-of-the art methods of handling injury and illness frequently encountered in the outdoors. This book would allow a youth group leader to administer correct treatments, yet remain protected by good Samaritan Laws, as well as enabling him to teach proper techniques. It excludes intimidating treatment that might be legally questionable for a non-professional to administer. 60 Page Sofe cover
