Survival Medicine Hour: Wilderness Safety, Snake Bites, More

In this episode of the The Survival Medicine Hour with Joe Alton, MD, aka Dr. Bones, and Amy Alton, ARNP, aka Nurse Amy, discusses how to make those summer outdoor outings with your family, as well as off-grid survival scenarios, safer for all involved. To make a wilderness experience memorable (in a good way), you'll need to know what factors will make the environment friendly or not-so-friendly, with injuries as the end result. Amy and Joe tell you what you need to bring in your medical kit.

One thing you might not bring is that old snake bite kit! Dr. Bones talks about current thinking regarding the old standard, and what to do if you have a group member suffer a venomous snake bite when modern facilities are not an option.
