8" x 10" EMERGENCY MEDICAL SURVIVAL GUIDE

by Robert Pelton

Overview

What would you and your family do if one of you fell and
fractured a leg while hiking in the mountains?
What would you and your family do if while enjoying a weekend camping excursion in the wilderness you were bitten by a rattlesnake?
And what would you do on a hunting expedition if one of your party were wounded by an accidental gunshot?
What would you do if you are thoroughly soaked by a fall in an icy river and the temperature is dropping to below freezing?
What would you do if caught in a snowstorm and someone in your group gets frostbite?
What would you do if you slashed your hand with a hunting knife while cutting branches for fuel?
Did you know garlic oil is carried in every Russian soldier’s backpack?
Why?
Because it not only kills germs but it is believed to hasten healing!
Did you know that ordinary household laundry bleach can be used as a preventative medicine?
A small amount zaps the harmful bacteria in water and makes it safe to drink.
And did you know that cayenne pepper sprinkled on a wound will stop bleeding and promote healing?
Emergency medical treatment must sometimes be given someone when no trained professionals are on hand. Robert W. Pelon’s Official Suburban & Wilderness Medical Survival Guide was specifically designed for such a situation. Carefully read over all of the various medical procedures. Become familiar with how each should be administered. The time may come when this knowledge must be applied in a real life situation.
Always remember the first and foremost rule of survival medicine.
Never panic!
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed with trepidation and indecision in fear-inducing circumstances. But panic must be avoided at any cost!
Keep a copy of Robert W. Pelton’s MEDICAL SURVIVAL GUIDE in your home and another in your vehicle.
Every hunter should keep a copy close at hand when out trekking through the woods. The same is true of fishermen, scouts, hikers, backpackers, campers, those in the military and a multitude of others.
