I have been living in Nevada for going on three years now and plan to be here for many years to come and I have a confession to make
. I have hiked, climbed, and swam here in Nevada and I have yet to learn any of the plants, animals, or basic survival skills of the desert. I have read the army survival guides section on desert survival and learned the basic plants but that is about it. I spent the first 20 years of my life learning to survive in the woods of northern Michigan, in the snow and cold yet my desert skills are almost non-existent other than learning to drink more water and move in early morning or late day. I just ordered Scats and Tracks of the Desert Southwest and Flowers and Shrubs of the Mojave Desert but would like some recommendations.
Edit: I have added these books to buy later. Cacti, Agaves, and Yuccas of California and Nevada, Medicinal Plants of the Desert and Canyon West,
Surviving the Desert (Simply Survival: Greg Davenport's Books for the Wilderness).
