First Aid & Outdoor Life – How to Handle Injuries in Nature by Julie Pio Kragelund

A practical and easy-to-understand guide to safety, injury treatment, and first aid on the trail.

When spending time in nature – whether hiking, camping, hunting, or with family – accidents can happen at any time. First Aid & Outdoor Life is written for those who want to be better prepared when injuries occur and who want a clear, straightforward, and trip-friendly guide to handling everything from minor scrapes to serious emergencies.

A book for those who want to be prepared in nature

The book covers the most common injuries you might encounter on a trip: sprains, abrasions, cuts, foreign objects in the eye, dehydration, and much more. It also addresses serious incidents such as broken bones, severe bleeding, and cardiac arrest. All treatments are described in a concrete and simple way so you can act quickly and effectively – even in situations where you are in the middle of a forest trail or far from help.

Practical step-by-step instructions – also on video

The book is packed with illustrations showing techniques, treatments, and assessments you can use directly in the field. Numerous QR codes provide access to short video clips demonstrating how to examine an injured person, apply a proper support bandage, or perform CPR. This makes the book especially useful when you are in a situation and need immediate help.

Learn to assemble your own first aid kit

Many outdoor enthusiasts carry a first aid kit – but far from all know how to use it or what it should contain. Julie guides you in building a kit tailored to your specific trips, whether you mainly hike, go mountain trekking, practice bushcraft, or have children on adventures. You also get a weatherproof action card that can stay in your backpack and serve as a quick reference when you are out in the wild.
