Everyone who ventures into the backcountry goes equipped with tips for preventing or treating the injuries and maladies that can arise there . . . don't they?

This deck of 48 Knowledge Cards will see that you do, at least. It's compact enough to go anywhere in a pocket; its Q&A quiz format means that you'll be entertained while you learn; and its contents deal with most of the nasties that the outback can inflict on a visitor. Each card poses a question on the front--How might you retrieve a lost companion? Treat frostbite, snakebite, heat stroke? What could you do in a mountain lion encounter?--with a knowledgeable, succinct answer on the back.

These cards are the work of a lifelong outdoorsman and river guide. They're excellent company, at home or on a wilderness trip.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these cards supports the Sierra Club's efforts to preserve and protect the planet.
