REMOTE, AUSTERE, WILDERNESS & THIRD WORLD MEDICINE
In case you have not run across this gem of a book, I would like to share the latest updated (third edition) version of Survival and Austere Medicine: An Introduction.
The book (and its updates) is authored by a group of medical professionals who are moderators of another forum that I belong to. This massive work has been developed over a period of twelve years. It was written for preppers, survivalists and professionals in mind, and it focuses on medical care during long-term, large-scale SHTF or wilderness situations where there is no option for conventional care such as hospitals, clinics, etc.
The team of authors includes professionals from three continents -- North America, Europe, and Australia (and other Down Under areas): two doctors, a Physician’s Assistant, a Biomedical Technician, a Veterinarian, a Paramedic/RN and a Remote Practice RN. This latest update is about 606 pages (which is quite an upgrade from the previous edition of 212 pages).
The PDF is free and they are glad to share. There are several links to it (from the lulu.com site below, where the hardbound book is sold). Here is one: https://www.ausprep.org/manuals
The free PDF is also available through a main-stream tactical medical course website, Active Response Training: (http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/the-best-free-medical-references-available). They had this to say about the book (which is on their list of recommended reading and free medical references): "This is one of the best wilderness and primitive medical books available anywhere. If you could only download one reference on this list, this would be my choice."
The authors also provide a print version which is available for those who would rather have a hard copy. Because it is so huge, it is not cheap: $126.35. (The PDF is quite large: 23mb and 614 pages.) The purchase price listed is the cost of production only, there is no markup. The authors receive no monetary compensation from your purchase.
Bound hard copy available here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/discussion...ext-hardcover/hardcover/product-23509905.html.
The authors are no slackers! I learned today on our forum that they are bouncing around the idea for a Volume Two edition. Reading their input in various threads has been exciting because I am watching the second book grow from its infancy.
I will keep you posted when it becomes available.
Until then, enjoy this latest edition of the original volume of Survival and Austere Medicine: An Introduction.
