What is a good bushcraft book for to read next?

Thanks.
 
Get the book called Six ways in and twelve ways out by George Jasper from the United States Rescue and Special Operations Group.
It is a great book and full of survival and bushcraft Info.

I love all the NOLS books.
 
FurFishGame has several booklets listed in their magazine that are very good...Camp & Trail Methods, Deadfalls and Snares, Land Surveying & Prospecting, etc....all these books are available at a nominal cost ($4.95 - $9.95 or somewhere in that vicinity). They were all written years ago but great reads!!!
