Great book for any level of provider in remote environments, written by an incredible team of experts, and has plenty of color diagrams and photos! Whether you have basic wilderness first aid training, advanced life support, or are more highly trained as a clinician, the chapters for handling different situations from environmental hazards, trauma injuries, rescues etc. are clearly broken down by provider level so you only need to focus on the section on what your skills can be applied toward. As a zoologist who works in the wilderness and has extensive wilderness medicine training, this book is now a valuable addition to my references. One of the chapters that stood out most to me was the chapter on animal bites and envenomation by Dr. Benjamin Abo. I was quite impressed with how in depth the epidemiology and treatment of venomous and nonvenomous bites was, and the background on different families of venomous snakes that you don't see in the average book of this kind. Another important note from that chapter was on the prevention of animal bites that includes understanding the behaviors of the species in which you may encounter so that you can pick up on warning signs to avoid negative interactions to begin with. The other chapter that stood out is a topic that is by far neglected when it comes to working in remote settings. It is about the mental health of individuals in response to such extreme situations and the mental health of those first responders in those situations. Laura McGladrey does well at diving into this difficult but important concept. Highly recommend!

Great text and one that I will use extensively going forward. It is well organized and covers the gamut of EMS topics in the wilderness. I teach wilderness medicine to a number of audiences and this textbook will be very useful as it breaks down recommended clinical care by level of certification/knowledge (First Aid and Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support, and Clinician). It bridges the gap between pure wilderness medicine and EMS books and the more technical textbooks that I have on the shelf by discussing (in the technical rescue section) implications and difficulties of medical care in differing environments such as high angle, swiftwater, and open water environments.

My goal in authoring chapter 7 on Wilderness EMT equipment was to provide the reader with a spectrum of advice highlighting both modern, highly back packable innovations, as well as tired-and-true improvisational techniques for the remote caregiver who must be self-reliant without the aid of modern transport support.
The reference is filled with the unique wisdom, experience and insight of long-time backcountry caregivers. It offers advice from professionals like myself (with fifty years of experience) as well as bright, new highly-trained and specialized outdoor experts, all of whom have come together to share their experience.
This is the first Wilderness EMS reference text enabling the reader to supplement their knowledge by harnessing the perspective of twenty Fellows of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine, five Wilderness Medicine School Directors and two of the rare Master Fellows of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine, Dr. Hawkins and I.
The editor Dr. Seth Hawkins has excelled in bringing together several uniquely-qualified, professional, full-time WEMS instructors such as myself for this purpose.
Finally, it’s important to note that the reference strives to provide perspectives from the more heavily populated Eastern United States as well as those from the more sparsely populated Western regions.
