Drawing from his experience providing care in international, wilderness, and disaster settings, he has compiled an impressive collection of bare-bones equipment and work-around strategies to provide the best possible care in resource-poor settings. While presenting many creative examples, the purpose of the book is not to offer an exhaustive list of solutions to missing resource challenges but to inspire creativity in readers who may find themselves needing to improvise."

I recommend this book to anyone who must practice in austere environments, and it will be in my rucksack when I respond to the next disaster." (The Journal of Emergency Medicine).
