Let me say, first, that I am NOT an expert in survival (not even a novice, never had the need), but here is a list of books that could be useful (or at least, give you some general ideas).

1.- FM (Field Manual) 21, Department of the Army: Survival.
2.-Everybody's knife bible (Don Paul)
3.-The Green Berets' Bible guide to Outdoor Survival (Don Paul).

Of course, it would be better if you enroll in some survival course:thumbup:

Lofty Wiseman SAS guide is a good starting point, and I'd like to read Les Stroud's book, though I expect it would be good.
