The 4th edition is bigger and better than ever, with 292 fact-filled pages, 106 illustrations, and 144 photographs. Featured are new photos and first-hand accounts of rescues; expanded material on big-water rescue -- new gear and methods; self-rescue and rescue of others by hand, boat, rope, and other ways; tools and techniques -- rope work, throw bags, boat handling, high- and low-tech gear to use when seconds count; rescue organization -- leadership, teamwork, patient care, evacuation, and more. Review: Vital Stuff to know before you find yourself (or a friend) in need! - Good narratives with good photos of vital info you should be aware of before casually getting on the water... Respect and prepare for the possible risks; treat this info like car insurance! Learn it and hope you do not have a personal need for it! Highly recommend this book! Review: We just started white water training and this is really useful information - I am an "experienced, intermediate level' canoe paddler. My family and I recently completed our basic river training in Ontario, on the Madawaska river, ORCKA, Basic Level 3 certification, and we have begun white water training. The information in this book reiterates/reinforces things I already know, but goes a little further to illustrate rescue techniques I didn't know. Read this book if you are headed for the fun stuff. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #622,895 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Whitewater Kayaking #22 in Rafting #36 in Instructional Sailing | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 30 Reviews | ## Images ![River Rescue: A Manual for Whitewater Safety, 4th Ed. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CumyBu9TL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vital Stuff to know before you find yourself (or a friend) in need! *by S***B on January 20, 2014* Good narratives with good photos of vital info you should be aware of before casually getting on the water...

This is an excellent overview book. As good as the book is, it is not a substitute for whitewater rescue instruction. ## Frequently Bought Together - River Rescue: A Manual for Whitewater Safety, 4th Ed. - The Essential Wilderness Navigator: How to Find Your Way in the Great Outdoors, Second Edition - Wild Critters of Maine: Everyday Encounters --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1609448-river-rescue-a-manual-for-whitewater-safety-4th-ed](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1609448-river-rescue-a-manual-for-whitewater-safety-4th-ed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
