Mountain Travel & Rescue

National Ski Patrol`s Manual for Mountain Rescue, 2nd Edition

As a leading authority of on-mountain safety since 1938, the nonprofit
National Ski Patrol has dedicated itself to serving the public and the outdoor
recreation industry by providing education, and accreditation to emergency
care and safety services providers. Their core mountain rescue educational
workbook, _Mountain Travel & Rescue _(first published in 1995), was
researched, written, and reviewed by volunteer members and experts from all
over the country, and is designed to help ski patrollers train, rescue, and
survive in mountain environments, at resorts, in the backcountry, and at any
time of year. _Mountain Travel & Rescue_ is a valuable piece of mountain
rescue equipment.

In addition to new illustrations, this edition offers significantly expanded
lesson sections, a new backcountry medicine section, and more. _Mountain
Travel & Rescue: National Ski Patrol`s Manual for Mountain Rescue_ is
organized into four major sections: Survival, Travel, Backcountry
Considerations, and Search and Rescue. It includes extensive appendixes,
including medical equipment lists, a questionnaire, and a glossary and is a
valuable tool for anyone who deals with search and rescue or is interested in
mountain rescue basics.
