Good review book Evan This WMA book gives a well-rounded review of wilderness protocols for readers already familiar with the topic. But it is by no means a complete textbook or reference material. Several commonly encountered illnesses were given less treatment.Content was easy to read and laid out in a logical order. The most helpful part of the book included special wilderness considerations.. Wilderness Med Ass has the best approach to an emergency situation in the back country Jerry Smith I've been taken over three WFA and AWFA certifications and this manual was the most helpful in completing the WFR course requirements. I couldn't have padded the test without it. Wilderness Med Ass has the best approach to an emergency situation in the back country and this text makes it easy to locate exactly what your trying to find when your studying for the exam questions. If you pair this textbook wit. "WIlderness First Responder?" according to SeanC. If you are or are taking the class this is a great book to look at. Lots of field tested ideas and scenarios that you can learn from. If you are the kind of person that travels in the woods or backcountry you should read this as a just in case something happens, you will know what to do.
