You want "Wilderness Medicine, Beyond First Aid"  by William W. Forgey. The author is president of the Wilderness Medical Society, and a serious outdoorsman. This is *the* book. Currently in its 5th edition. I bought a copy of the first edition
way back when, based on a review in the Whole Earth Guide.
