For the 68W Army combat medic

You can buy this book in  hard copy - I have, but the book is not cheap.  Before you put down your cash, here is the pdf of the book, this will allow you to determine of the value - for you - is there given the cost of the publication.  This is an EMT 2+ to Paramedic  level text.


About 1/3 of this work is all but useless for a non-active duty person - the remainder, however, is excellent.


Having spent many years working in military ERs, I strongly suggest everyone have a good first aid kit and manual to go with it.  Read the manual in advance!


and alternative is the excellent work that is part of many Adventure Medical kits...

A Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness and Travel Medicine

by Eric A. Weiss

https://savannaharsenal.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/comprehensive-guide-to-wilderness-travel-medicine.pdf    This is Ver 3.x - the current manual is V5.x.  This is to let you see the level of information prior to purchase of the newest (paper) manual.


these can be purchase as a softcover from several sources.  Use the pdf to review, then buy the book...you know, batteries not included...  This is a basic manual, well written and illustrated.


I have several of the Adventure Medical Kits and found them to be a solid base from which to fully customize to fit my specific needs.


The pdfs are great for a review - but having the printed manual is a must for any first aid kits.


Now is the time to get ready - if you don't have it now, you won't be able to get it 'then'.
