The Wilderness First Aid App is a handy, quick-reference guide with easily accessible wilderness first aid step-by-step guidance. The use of technical terms is limited, providing practical approaches and comprehensive explanations. This system-based, easy-to-follow guide assists the first aid provider to care for most minor and major wilderness emergencies, from cold and heat concerns and blister treatments to high altitude illness and lightning injury prevention—and much more.
Typically the most challenging decision in the wilderness is when to evacuate a person, and each section has detailed decision-making steps to inform you of when to be concerned, and when to get out. Filled with full-color artwork illustrating techniques and procedures and downloadable for access off-line, it is handy for travel into extreme environments. The Wilderness First Aid App is a must-have for every back pocket or backpack.

Excellent app! A must for anyone going into the backcountry.
This is a great app! I have been waiting for an app like this that is useful and easy to navigate. Really great information with pictures! The text walks you through every outdoor scenario and tells you exactly what to do in each situation. This is my go to app when I am outdoors! Well worth the $ to buy it, it really could save your life!

Just completed my first Wilderness First Aid course from The Center for Wilderness Safety and found this app that appears to be consistent with what I learned and appears to be well organized. Ill still keep a hard copy book handy but in case iPhone battery runs out but this is sure to be a handy quick access guide!
First: if you havent taken a wilderness medicine course, DO NOT use this app, because it assumes you have that knowledge. Otherwise, I HIGHLY recommend this app. I wanted something that was easy to carry around wherever I went to help if I get stuck with a more obscure case. This app is superb, and has all the topics and information covered in my textbook. I actually believe this app may have been taken verbatim from the textbook. That being said, there are lots of things in the app that are guidelines, and it does not go into the in-depth reasoning behind treatments, because it is meant as a guide for people who have already completed advanced medical classes. DO NOT USE THIS APP IF YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN A WILDERNESS MEDICINE COURSE.
