The Story
Everyone who ventures into the backcountry goes equipped with tips for preventing or treating the injuries and maladies that can arise there. Donât they? This deck of 48 Knowledge Cards will see that you do, at least. Itâs compact enough to go anywhere in a pocket; its Q&A quiz format means that youâll be entertained while you learn; and its contents deal with most of the nasties that the outback can inflict on a visitor. Each card poses a question on the frontâHow might you retrieve a lost companion? Treat frostbite, snakebite, heatstroke? What could you do in a mountain lion encounter?â with a knowledgeable, succinct answer on the back.
These cards are the work of a lifelong outdoors-man and river guide. Theyâre excellent company, at home or on a wilderness trip.
