I can appreciate that. Finding time to do the things you would really love to do is difficult at best.

The BEST book regarding wilderness medicine is "Auerbach's Wilderness Medicine" currently in its 7th edition. I would caution the casual reader that is a medical text written for medical professionals. It covers about anything you could consider. . even exotic snake and insect bites from all parts of the world, and even aerospace/high altitude medicine. The 6th edition is about half the price of the 7th, and the 5th even less. However, the older editions information is generally still valid.

Sorry, I digress. . .

Yes it would be nice to attend a current NOLS class.
