Wilderness First Aid by A. Thygerson, S. Thygerson and J. Thygerson.

    Wilderness First Aid is a book that I had to read for, you guessed it, a wilderness first aid course, which is often required for high adventure trips in scouting. This means all but about four people will not give any mind to this book, and I figure that's perfectly fine. Wilderness First Aid is a 32-chapter e-book used as a prerequisite to taking the wilderness first aid course to get the certification. If any of the scouts are interested in taking the wilderness first aid course, get in contact with anyone from Crew 1. They tend to run the course over the weekend at Camp Drake.

    Wilderness First Aid covers about every condition/injury you could possibly come up with and teaches you how to perform first aid for the condition/injury. The book teaches how to deal with anything from dislocations to being struck by lightning. If you have taken first aid courses before, Wilderness First Aid will likely just be a review except for some of the more exotic problems.

    Just for some reminders, first aid is not necessarily used to treat conditions/injuries and is only used to keep someone alive until help arrives. Before entering a first aid situation, always make sure the surrounding area is safe: leaping in to help and getting hurt yourself will only lead to more victims and a larger problem. You cannot help if you are also a victim.

Note* Wilderness First Aid is not actually easily accessible; I only got access to the book because I signed up for the course and the Crew that runs the course gave me a code to redeem here.
