Sorry Leon, that was directed more at Jason than you as he asked for a list of bushcraft books. I've got the usual suspects.

I don't have the links to hand but the books by Richard Graves are online somewhere and also there are some Swedish bushcraft videos that people have mentioned but I haven't seen yet. Someone posted a link to http://www.outdooridiots.com/ the other day, and although you wouldn't expect it from the name, there was a lot of useful info on there. Just trying to come up with some ideas to get info without buying books.

oh sorry if it wasnt aimed at me
i must look like a complete idiot lol

Don't worry about it, I should have quoted the post I was replying to. The link below is the thread with the videos:
