I carry this one. It's mostly based on the swedish armys guidelines for survival in the swedish wilds.

Title is "Your forest manual"

>>1080064
Does it have an English edition? "Your forest manual" is too obscure for direct search but I'd like to find a .pdf

>>1080071
Not that i know of.
This is the book: http://www.bokus.com/bok/9789187397424/din-skogshandbok/

for wilderness and anarchy it's a book about anarcho-primitism but it's pretty out related and great

How to Shit in the Woods is a fun short primer on sanitation and the history of backpacking.

>>1080089
>>1080092
>>1080096
According to goodreads:
Stay Alive > Shitting > Anarchy

OP here, should I make an infograph after we manage to get some more recommendations?

Gonna need a few people confirming a book is good before putting it in.

>>1080180
I somewhat trust goodreads and it's rated pretty good there 4.21/5 (910 ratings)

I use wild edible plants of WNA by Donald R Kirk and edible wild plants of ENA by Lee Allen Peterson. Bushcraft 101, advanced, trapping cooking and hunting, and first aid by Dave Canterbury are all pretty good beginners books, I wouldn't take his advice on what gear to buy but the skills and techniques are all there.

>>1080096
anyone got a pdf for this?

>>1080478
>Bushcraft 101, advanced, trapping cooking and hunting, and first aid by Dave Canterbury

Oh shit, these are all different books
>Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival
>Advanced Bushcraft: An Expert Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival
>The Bushcraft Field Guide to Trapping, Gathering, and Cooking in the Wild
>Bushcraft First Aid: A Field Guide to Wilderness Emergency Care


I'll make sure to keep my eye on them

>>1080180
nerd dad in the pub loves this book, I even got a 20min lecture on battoning when I foolishly asked why people don't just pick up smaller sticks and snap them.

>>1080632

Anyone have any recommendations for a White mountain plant / animal identification book? Are the AMC field guides good?

>>1081391
I've only used the AMC trail guides but they've always been excellent.

I know this is a slow board but still bumping

>>1080885
>why people don't just pick up smaller sticks and snap them.
I hope it's worth 7€ to find out

Hunting for the Pot, Fishing for the Pan

Picked this up while down in Florida. Good book and guide to catching your own food while inna woods and prepping it

>>1080180
Yes, but it's about growing, harvesting and storing wood for indoor wood burners, not bushcraft per se.

>>1082586
I have an old cottage in the mountains where we still use wood for heating and cooking, even a small woodshed next to it. I think I'll be picking up that book.

>>1082586
All the same to me.
As long as it involves steel parting wood I'll probably enjoy it.

>>1080505
You guys seriously need to read these instead of rehashes of FM21-76 and Kochanski's Bushkek over and over.
Especially the thousand page long one by Kephart.


>>1081391
A Field Guide to Mammal Tracking in North America - James C. Halfpenny.

May not be what you're looking, but this is the best book on tracking I've come across.
After having flipped through many others on the subject, this is the one I bought.

I don't have a specific book to recommend but pick up a plant identification book for your area, its helped me alot.

>>1081373
I got this one, it's good.

>>1080056

I had the original version of OP pic related when I was a kid; it was much better than the new version in that it actually told you how to kill things.

>>1083691
Well that's a shame...

That's quite a lot of books, which do you recommend?

>>1084350
All of them, depending on why you are /out/
If youbare interested in primitive living in general, read the Foxfire Book, Wilderness Cabin, Buckskinning, etc.

Just weird hiking tricks, the Survival ones

Don't read Bear Attacks while camping alone at night

>>1084450
Seconding Foxfire books

>>1084450
I'm never camping alone anyway, too big of a puss for that.

Imma check my local library for some of those, they seem good.

Alright you faggots. Put down you gay ass survival manuals for two seconds and listen up. It’s time to read a book by a real man who has actually been outside.

Let’s talk about Aldo fucking Leopold. This motherfucker has Confressionally designated Wilderness named after him. He is a ducking hunter poet that forgot more about outdoors than your faggot asses will ever know.

“Considered by many to be the father of wildlife ecology and the United States’ wilderness system, Aldo Leopold was a conservationist, forester, philosopher, educator, writer, and outdoor enthusiast. Among his best known ideas is the “land ethic,” which calls for an ethical, caring relationship between people and nature.”

Pic related, cunts.

>>1087137
Sounds hella dumb.

>>1087170

You are hella dumb

>>1087137
you're overhyping it
it better live up to that hype, nigga

>>1087325

Or what bitch? But seriously read it. And maybe do a quick google search on Leopold just to get a context on what a high level of outdoorsman he is

>>1084112

Yeah, kinda disappointed with it. The dude wasn't some modern day woodsman, he was just a homeless thief with a basecamp in the woods.

>>1084112
Yep. Author just dragged out his GQ article into a book, after pushing his way into this guy's life.

good, first book, then the series quickly trails off

Bit releated, with North-Korea memeing it up with a potential nuclear holocaust, what are some good nuclear survival guides? I have the Nuclear War Survival Skills book, but I need more.

Any /out/ related books for fishing?

This is my only /out/ book. I know people here like to shit on national parks but this book has a lot of good info about national parks, like stuff about wildlife and plants you might encounter, possible weather conditions, maps of the parks and maps showing hiking trails(regional maps not just trails in the park), whether you need a permit for anything and how much the permits are and a lot more info.

Look into it if you think you might go cross country or come to the US for a camping/hiking trip.
