Highly recommended
I've been looking for the perfect emergency first aid book to place in our Troop's first aid kits and this one is the best. This little waterproof guide really has a lot going for it. It's packed with instructions for just about any emergency situation, and the tabs make it easy to quickly find the information you need. I like the layout of bullet points giving simple, easy to understand instructions. Anyone can give competent first aid using this manual. Because of the previous post, I carefully looked through the manual and everything seems to be solid and up to date (although I'd suggest adding in the poison control number in the section on poisonings). My edition is dated 2013, so maybe there have been changes from the previous edition. For what it's worth, I'm not a first-responder but I am a long-time nurse practitioner who has worked in both primary care and intensive care settings. I consider this to be a great little guide and if I have to make up any more first aid kits (and I suspect I will) this will go in each one.
Great companion to actual training.
This is a great companion guide to someone who has had actual emergency first aid training. It could potentially be used by someone without training but when paired with training it is a nice guideline to follow in a stressful situation when people easily lose their head.
Good for 1st aid beginners
Gave it to my grandson for his pack. He's never had a 1st aid course and needed something in case of an accident. This little booklet is it.
Need to Know Info.
A concise and useful reference for camping,cruising or around home
OUT OF DATE
This book may have been OK when it came out in 1993 but it is clearly outdated now. There are much better options. I am surprised that REI would offer such an out of date publication. Shocking! Someone could get hurt.
Intentional purchase - gift exchange
The first aid reference guide is compact and easy to access while hiking or backpacking. It serves as a reminder of the skills learned from first aid classes.
Great Guide Books
The books from these authors are awesome. They have so much fundamental information, are easy to read, and lightweight. Great to read over and over so you remember if the information when you need it.
