Review: The book rates 5 stars & is great for Scouts & Leaders - The book appears to be well written and well worth your cash. Honestly speaking, I haven't read it all yet, but given what I have looked at, I am quite impressed. The doctor covers everything from diabetes, to lacerations, to spider bites, specific women's related issues, to probably everything else in between. Since my Crew has a lot of females, this will be important for them to know, as well as for me. The book is easy to read, hasn't been dumbed down, but doesn't require an advanced degree to understand. He's pretty much found the sweet spot here in writing a book which is easy to understand and use. Is it worth it? Right now, yes. And while I hope I never need any of the information, I'm certainly glad I'll have this available in my shirt pocket. Be Prepared!

A book to accompany every Boy Scout camper...
Knowledge , respect and enjoyment of the outdoors is an integral part of the Boy Scout experience. However, accidents , injuries and illness do occur while in remote places. Written by an expert in Wilderness Medicine , The Scouting Guide to Wilderness First Aid is an invaluable practical manual, covering a wide range of outdoor medical problems. This book belongs in every Scout and Scoutmaster’s backpack.

Fast shipping excellent seller the book is good but not great
This book is a mandatory for boy scout outings, haven't been certified as an EMT I have to say that this book is good, but not great. It leaves a lot of stuff out and cover stuff that doesn't really pertain.
