RM Books...

Is there much difference in terms of content between these two publications?

and...

http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/164-Ray-Mears-Essential-Bushcraft/

I already have a copy of RM Essential Bushcraft, just wondering if its worth adding the Outdoor Survival to my wish list?

could you maybe see if your library can get one, try before you buy?

the first one is set up and is more detailed for use in the UK the other give the same info but from around the world.
I've got both they complement each other prefectly and would reccomend getting both.

Have a look at this thread: post #26 by Stuart http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10701&highlight=stuart+books+mears

Personally I've got both:
The top one in a reprint (it's divided into 4 seasons - aimed to teach you in the easy seasons moving onward to winter, not kit based but the bare minimum of kit you need, normally nothing more than a knife for the tasks described)

The bottom one: in the form of its bigger brother. If I'd to buy again (choosing between the one in your link and the one I have) I'd go for the one in your link, as it can be brought along in the field due to its handy size.

As mentioned afore: they compliment each other very well and you can't go wrong buying them both. If you only can buy one, than I'd go for the second - especially if you're just into bushcraft: it covers more ground than the first. If you're more experienced I'd go for the first, as it gives you some good ideas to try with minimum kit. Note that my very first Mears book was this first book. The second wasn't written yet and this one was the only one available overhere And I didn't even knew the subject I was interested in, was called bushcraft

Edit:
Didn't read your question properly ...
To answer it: Yes, it is.
