I'm looking around for some Bushcraft books (either in or out of print) and wondered if anyone has any recommendations.
Thanks

Collins do a series of books in the 'gem' or pocket range, also full size.

Tree's, Mushrooms, SAS Survival Guide, Richard Mabey's Food for Free...

Picked up 4 books for £11 with free postage from Amazon last week and they are superb books. I'm sure you will get tons more recommendations though and welcome to the forum, al.

Rays Outdoor Survival Handbook (and all it's variants) is a really good read, the book is broken down into seasons and gives you things to do all year round. The illustrations are basic but for learning skills it's one of the best out there IMHO.

Thanks for the welcome, I will check out Amazon.. I was also looking for any really old titles as well or lesser known books. I have the Ray Mears and some of the collins gems books, they are very good, but was wondering if anyone had any reference to material from way back.

Couldnt agree more!! the food for free, trees, mushrooms and wild flowers come in my pack almost every time i go out. Small enough and light enough not to be burdened by carrying them. highly recommended.
