Essential packingMarch 30, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Cicerone have just published the tenth edition of (Pocket) First Aid and Wilderness Medicine by mountaineering doctors Jim Duff and Peter Gormly. For those people, such as wildlife film-makers, who work out in the wilds, distant from the nearest hospital, this is surely an essential item to add to the packing list. Despite being small enough to fit in a jacket pocket or slip in a rucksack, the book is packed with information about almost every sort of health-related problem you may encounter in the bush. There are numerous flow charts, enabling you to assess situations and determine the action required - this could not only be life-saving but could also prevent costly mistakes (for example where evacuation is not required). Some of the described bush-treatments are a revalation! There are also useful charts of medications and suggested contents of first aid kits. From snake-bites to altitude sickness, broken bones to frostbite, this is highly recommended for all outdoors enthusiasts. Further information from www.cicerone.co.uk.
