WILDERNESS MEDICINE - 5th Edn

This book is expensive, really expensive, you can buy it new on Amazon UK for £133.35 ($159.20 Amzon.com = £109.40) and comes with a DVD which is a lot of money to gamble on a book so I decided to post the link to the torrent for the .chm edition of the book (DVD not included). If you like it and think it's worth it then make sure you buy it.
