Mountain Rescue Guide

You want a clear, repeatable process for mountain rescue procedures and safety guidance - especially when pressure, weather, and uncertainty start to stack up. Whether you're new to rescues, volunteering your first season, or an experienced hiker who wants structured incident habits, this book meets you where you are and builds from there.

Inside Mountain Rescue Guide, you'll learn practical priorities, scene safety, and beginner-friendly incident command so every action has a reason. You'll also walk through communications discipline, information flow, search strategy and spacing, navigation, night procedures, and patient care - then finish with evacuation planning, rope safety basics, and an after-action review you can actually use.

These guides are educational resources and are not a substitute for professional rescue, emergency response, veterinary, medical, or law-enforcement services. Never enter a hazardous situation or attempt a rescue beyond your training, equipment, or capabilities.
