An ER Doctor’s Survival Guide to Backcountry Emergencies | ARGALI FIELD NOTES

Brad sits down with his good buddy, Ben Graboyes, an emergency room physician, to discuss practical backcountry first aid for hunters and outdoor adventurers. The conversation focuses on situations that can occur far from immediate help and how preparation and basic knowledge can make a critical difference. They cover common wilderness injuries, priorities when responding to an accident, and the types of first aid supplies that are worth carrying on extended trips. Drawing on real emergency medicine experience, Ben explains how to stabilize injuries, manage bleeding, and make decisions when evacuation may be hours away.
