chaosmagnet Sheriff Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/03/09 Posts: 3821 Loc: USA	The _SAS Survival Guide_ is pretty good. I keep the Collins Gem edition in each of our BOBs. I think my favorite for people just getting started is _98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive_ by Cody Lundin. A good one for starting to understand survival psychology is _Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why_ by Laurence Gonzales. If you're only going to buy three books, it should probably be those three. Doug apparently agrees with me (http://www.equipped.org/books.htm) which is no surprise, since I bought those three and pick my next survival library recommendations from that page.
