O ovoj e-knjizi

'Signal for Rescue' presents a vital exploration of wilderness signaling techniques, addressing the critical need highlighted by the over 3,000 annual mountain rescue operations in North America. This comprehensive guide uniquely bridges the gap between basic wilderness safety and advanced rescue protocols, offering a systematic approach to maximizing visibility in remote mountainous terrain.

The book introduces innovative concepts like the Triangle of Visibility and the SCOPE protocol, developed through collaboration with mountain rescue teams to enhance survival chances. The text progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with the science of visibility and human perception in mountain environments, moving to detailed signaling methods both traditional and modern, and concluding with real-case scenario analyses from two decades of search and rescue operations.

Throughout, readers learn practical applications of visibility science, from creating effective signal fires to utilizing modern satellite communicators, all presented in accessible language that maintains scientific accuracy. What sets this book apart is its evidence-based approach, drawing from multiple disciplines including meteorology, human physiology, and visual science.

Written for wilderness enthusiasts, professional guides, and search and rescue personnel, it offers specific action items and scenario-based exercises while addressing current debates in wilderness safety. The guide's comprehensive treatment of both traditional and technological methods provides readers with adaptable strategies for various environmental conditions, making it an essential resource for anyone venturing into remote mountain areas.
