Description

Canoeing Safety & Rescue helps paddlers prepare for the inevitable—an accident on the river. Focusing on how to prepare for a safe trip, this book also includes information on implementing a rescue plan when things go wrong. A complete guide, it includes sections on rigging ropes for extracting canoes off rocks and First Aid suggestions, as well as checklists and a thorough index.
