Synopsis

Be prepared for emergencies in the outdoors — where help may be hours away.

Outdoor First Aid by Katherine Wills (Fully Revised and Updated 2nd Edition) is the essential guide for anyone who enjoys or works in the great outdoors. Whether you’re a walker, climber, paddler, cyclist, paraglider, wild swimmer, or mountain runner, this book teaches you how to manage medical incidents when professional help is not immediately available.

In this indispensable guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize and treat injuries in remote locations.
  • Improvise with limited equipment using everyday outdoor gear.
  • Adapt your response for different outdoor environments.
  • Plan safe evacuations for yourself or others when help is delayed.
  • Understand UK-specific rescue procedures and emergency protocols.

Unlike traditional first aid manuals, this book focuses on the realities of the outdoor environment — where weather, terrain, and distance can complicate even the simplest incidents. It’s designed to give you confidence, clarity, and practical skills when it matters most.

Perfect for:

  • Outdoor instructors, guides, and adventurers
  • Mountain rescue volunteers and team leaders
  • Outdoor educators, scouts, and expedition organizers

Written by an experienced mountain rescuer and first aid instructor, Outdoor First Aid provides expert knowledge drawn from real-world rescues in the UK’s most challenging terrain.
