Most of the books on there are late 19th early 20 century

PM an email address and I'll add you to my skydrive account so you can download any I've put there that you fancy.
On a slight tangent, I'm reading Vagabonding at the moment. Kinda mental preparation for the big trips out on a wander.
The following search at Internet Archive throws up some interesting titles:

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Early the next morning the stage called for us. My companion and I had each a large knapsack as full as it would hold, and we had two large rubber bags which held our provisions and utensils. As for the Indian, all the baggage he had, beside his axe[7] and gun, was a blanket, which he brought loose in his hand. However, he had laid in a store of tobacco and a new pipe for the excursion. The canoe was securely lashed diagonally across the top of the stage, with bits of carpet tucked under the edge to prevent its chafing. The driver appeared as much accustomed to carrying canoes in this way as bandboxes.
