Little viking - buy the book and see!
There is a whole chapter on shelters and it covers natural and man made ones - you'll love it.

as our stuart pointed out at one of the meet-ups, the collins gem versions of both the SAS suvival handbook and food for free make a great pocket combination for bushcrafty outings.

This might be overkill, but I'd advise you to buy BOTH copies of Food For Free - the new photograph-based version, and the original hand-drawn version (though it ain't essential to have one of each).
Why?
The photographic one is obviously more 'realistic' and also gives additional visual information as to the typical local habitat/environment surrounding each species.
However ...
The hand-drawn version has benefits in terms of identification, as the illustrator is able to highlight and/or exaggerate key features of the plant which may not be so clear on a photograph.
With both of them in hand, you really can't go wrong!

Not much new info, but in a much better format and with better pictures and diagrams.
