The field reference for the people who get there first.
And the help when they do.
Physician-built for adventure-medicine generalists. The person on the boat. The parent on the trail. The lifeguard before the medic. The surfer who got to the body first.
When the nearest ED is hours away, the first responder is often the only responder for the window that matters. Wound care. Drowning recognition. Marine envenomations. The first sixty seconds. Citation-anchored throughout. Designed for the dry bag, not the shelf.

A field reference for the gap between incident and definitive care.
Adventure-medicine generalists work in a window the literature describes but the lineup doesn't always reach. The clinical evidence is in the journals; the field reality is on the boat, at the cabin, on the reef. Where those two worlds meet is where this guide lives.
Every protocol traces to peer-reviewed literature, Auerbach's Wilderness Medicine, ATLS, and Wilderness Medical Society practice guidelines. Every claim is cited inline. Every clinical decision is reviewed before publication. Built by a physician who works in the environments the protocols are written for.
It's the document I wish I had when I moved to Siargao, and now it's what I pack and keep within reach for every surf trip.
The notification list opens the founding cohort. The first hundred to sign up carry founding-cohort status — first access to future editions, early invitation when The Watch formalizes, and other recognition still being shaped. Quietly marked, durably held.
The protocols you'll wish you had the last time it went wrong.
A working reference for the injuries that show up at remote breaks. Each protocol is short, scenario-led, citation-anchored, illustrated. Designed to print and carry, or to keep on the phone in airplane mode.
The first hundred to show up are the founding cohort.
The first one hundred people to join the notification list carry founding-cohort status. What that recognition looks like is being designed deliberately, not retroactively. First access to subsequent Field Guide editions. Early invitation when The Watch formalizes. Other things still being shaped. Not a name on a page. Something durable.
It's a small thing and a real one. Like a backer credit in a film. Like an early line on a cap table. The Watch is built on the people who show up before there's anything to show up for. This is how the first hundred show up.
Just the list. No commitment.
