First aid skills for the backcountry

Dave Canterbury and Jason Hunt’s field guide connects wilderness first aid with practical bushcraft skills. Its coverage ranges from injuries such as cuts, burns, broken bones, and head injuries to choosing supplies and improvising bandages, dressings, and slings. The book also discusses using plants medicinally, placing that subject alongside conventional first-aid preparations. Together, these topics frame emergency care as a combination of preparation and resourcefulness in settings where immediate outside help may be unavailable.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Hikers and backpackers seeking a guide to wilderness emergency care
  • Outdoor-skills readers interested in first-aid supplies and improvised dressings
  • Bushcraft readers curious about the book’s discussion of plants used medicinally
