Wes Halloran, 2026

Most hikers carry a first aid kit. Far fewer know how to use everything in it, or what to do when help is hours away instead of minutes. Wilderness First Aid Basics is a plain-spoken introduction to first aid in the outdoors, written to get you ready for a hands-on course and to help you act calmly until help arrives. Inside, you'll learn how to: Understand what makes first aid in the wilderness different Build a first aid kit you actually know how to use Size up the scene, check a person head to toe, and take vital signs Understand the basics of CPR, choking, bleeding control, and shock Care for wounds, sprains, broken bones, and head and spine injuries Recognize heat, cold, and altitude illness, and sudden illnesses like heart attack and stroke Decide whether to stay or go, call for help, and care for someone while you wait The book ends with a six-step plan for building real skills, including a CPR course and a wilderness first aid course. It gives no medication doses. Book 12 of The Trailhead Series, practical outdoor guides for people who are just getting started.
