Flether's book still is one of the best. Not sure how new the newest version is, but he's not a huge fan of ultralighting. He talks some about long distantance hikes (think AT or PT) with points on caching and gear selection. If your bugging out plan involves moving by foot, it's not a bad read.

Or if you just want to get into hiking.
