If you go to the backcountry for fun, be it mountains, rivers, desert canyons, or anywhere that you are more than an hour from professional help, you need to at least read up on wildness medicine. Put this book in the bathroom and read a chapter at every sitting, you and your friends will be better off for it.

Fantastic book

If you're going to own only one book on wilderness medicine, this should be it. Well, this or Medicine for Mountaineering, but this one is a lot more practical and easy to read. It is my go to guide when I need to look something up, and I've even carried it with me on trips where weight wasn't a huge factor(rivers and basecamp) Overall, you can't beat it for the clarity of information, illustrations, and ease of reading.
