Book Recommendations

[BushcraftDan]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering does anyone know of any good bushcrafting books that are worth a read to gain abit more knowledge on the subject?

Im looking for "how to" types of book and also books about real life survival mainly in either woods, jungles and rainforests.

If anyone could give me titles that you would recommend that would be brilliant..

Thanks in advance!

Dan

The book I'd recommend to anyone who's getting strated is Rays Outdoor Survival Handbook.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Outdoor-Survival-Handbook-Resources-Navigation/dp/0091878861

Aswell as plenty of techniques and skills to learn the book is laid out in seasons and advises what can be foraged and found depending on the time of year.

Definitely worth getting if you haven't already.

EDIT:

I'd also RM's books, but also Bushcraft by Mors Kochanski and the US air force handbook.

There are also some books available in the downloadsection:

Mors is the one, good old bushcraft, less focus on what brand you should use and more on the bushcraft

Check out www.woodsmoke.uk.com. I have no connection with them other than having been on one of their courses. At the bottom of each course description, there is a suggested piece of reading, often a free download. There is also a recommended booklist section in the resources pages.

I'm currently reading Woodcraft & Camping by Nessmuk which is definitely a classic. http://www.woodsmoke.uk.com/documents/files/woodcraft_and_camping_by_nessmuk.pdf
