This FG is the result of over 40 years in the field as a professional river guide and 25 years as a professional rescue instructor, and networking with an abundance of river professionals from around the world ! Our Advisory Committee alone has a combined experience of over 250 years. With this knowledge, Abigail and I have finally created a 4.5 ounce waterproof field guide that is packed full of 117 pages of information that includes pre-planning, safe down river travel, risk assessment models, swiftwater rescue techniques and strategies, rope rescue, first aid and rescue kit lists, and information on pack rafting, canoes, traveling with kids, and so much more! This field guide includes a review of rescue options, and simple strategies for choosing the safest, simplest and quickest option for rescue. It includes a variety of tools for the rescue and safe river travel toolbox.
