About The Book
This book is written for guides, wilderness responders, and expedition leaders working in remote environments. It focuses on the science of the wilderness and the inner workings of the human body. Structured in a question-and-answer format, the content is built to develop a strong foundation for managing wilderness medical emergencies. Anecdotes from the field are woven throughout, showing how clinical principles apply in real-world conditions. It reflects lessons learned through years of experience, trial and error, and the insight shared by mentors, colleagues, and clients. The result is a perspective grounded in practice-meant to prepare responders for medical decision-making in remote settings while fostering a lasting connection to the people and places encountered along the way.
