Perhaps not the most "bushcraft oriented", but "Pocket Ref" by Glover is quite good.
Some stuff I've found in it;
Knots
Meteorology basics
First aid
Average temperatures of major cities
Magnetic declination charts
Morse, semaphore, braille alphabets
Map symbols
Lists of batteries, voltages, amperages
Firewood / fuel comparisons (btu's, etc)
ice thickness reference
Windchill / heat loss tables
strength of wooden beams

oh... and it covers a bunch of other topics too - from geology to subatomic physics, yet fits in a pocket and costs $10 on Amazon.

It goes on and on. If you were in a situation where you'd have to re-build or want to take on a DIY project, it is an invaluable reference.
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

Only downside... paper is a bit thin (has to be to fit in that size), and I'm not sure how well it would stand up to the elements.
 
Backcountry Basics by Bradford Angier

One of the best books on bushcraft and camp life that I've ever read. EXTREMELY useful, enough so that I bought extra used copies to keep in my kits.

-Parke1
 
I only make room for 1 book in my BOB:
A Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine
Eric Weiss, M.D.
 
A friend gave me a book called "Indian Handcrafts" by C. Keith Wilbur for Christmass. It is part of the Illustrated Living History Series. It isn't really geared toward survival situations but it has some really neat stuff in it, including instructions for making Atlatl, Bow and Arrow, shelters, clothing, utensils, containers, cordage, fire by friction, knives, snowshoes etc. I have been having fun making some of the stuff in it.
 
On the left of the page, in the navigation box, I've added "Friends of Klippe". The BF W&S Forum is there!

Come join us!
 
Finally got around to signing up. Very well thought out Wiki. Added to my favorites.

Well done and thanks.....:thumbup::cool:
 
Here are some links (courtesy of Mick Chesbro over at the Hoodlums forum) to online survival vids. I haven't had a chance to look all of them over, but Mick knows his stuff so I'm confident these will be good. Mick's website is http://www.chesbro.net/
