WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
'Dr. Dvorchak's The Pocket First-Aid Field Guide' will serve as a valuable reference for those who spend time in the outdoors. His recommendations could literally save the day for you ' especially if you heed his advice and arm yourself in advance with this information.' - Colleen H. Hyden, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Sociology, Washington & Jefferson College; 1996-1999 NRA Board of Directors member
The Pocket First-Aid Field Guide serves as a handy medical reference for outdoorsmen from youthful hikers to experienced hunters and woodsmen. When carried in a backpack this reference tool provides security as it can be used as a first line medical response in remote areas where mobile phone service is non-existent. - Dr. Janet Franicola, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education, Norwin School District
"This book should be considered required reading for those who hunt, fish, hike, and participate in other outdoor activities. With his years of experience as a physician, plus his lifetime of hunting in all kinds of terrain in all sorts of situations, I can't think of anyone better qualified to write this book. Buy this book, read it, and keep it with you in the field, in a pack or at least in your vehicle. Applying the knowledge Dr. Dvorchak presents could prevent an injury to you or a friend from becoming worse, and might even save a life."
- John Anderson, Ph. D., Editor, The VARMINT HUNTER Magazine
"If you are an outdoors-man, this book should be a necessity in the backpack. The book is a great tool for anyone who likes to spend time either hiking, hunting, or general outdoor activities. It is well detailed and informative. The book is a supplement to the first-aid kit." - Michael F. Castillo, ATC, CSCS. Athletic Trainer, St. Vincent College
"There's plenty of... common sense advice through the entire book, making it a pretty good read for someone in advance of an emergency. Unfortunately, many of us tend to look at such books after we have a need and not before. It reminds us of many of the things we should know before heading into the wilds'
In other words, The Pocket First Aid Field Guide is exactly what it claims to be a common sense guide for being active. Unlike other books we've talked about in the past, this is not a survival guide, it's a guide to treating and managing injuries until you can get professional help." - May 3, 2007, The Outdoors Wire
