Author: Tilton, Buck

Unlike worst-case-scenario books that focus on the most wildly improbable circumstances, this handy guide provides clear-cut, no-nonsense information about what to do when something goes wrong in the outdoors - both emergency situations and annoying accidents. What if you encounter a bear in the wild? Fall through thin ice? Run out of water? Get sick on wild food? Tilton, co-founder of the National Outdoor Leadership School's Wilderness Medicine Institute, gives expert advice in an easy-to-use format, one page for each situation.
