Hi Chris,

The other recommendations in this thread are super! I would highly recommend any of Bradford Angier's books, especially 'How to Survive in the Woods" He and his wife Vena took off from NYC to the remote Peace River area in Canada where they learned to live in the outdoors. Very interesting reading as well, their other books keep you interested with the story of their wilderness adventures as opposed to boring 'how to' stuff. Tom Brown's books are very interesting as well. The Reader's Digest 'Back to Basics' book is good and easily found on EBay or Amazon very cheap.
