Great book with comprehensive coverage of kit, shelters, cooking, wildfoods and loads more. Ray has a great style of writing and there are fantastic pictures but this is a big book. Exellent
The SAS Survival HandbookThe SAS Survival Handbook by John 'Lofty' Wiseman
Buy used from: £8.09
I own the collins gem version of this book and the larger version and would highly recomend it. This is what first got me interested in survival. Wide coverage on lots of fields.

Buy new: £9.09 / Used from: £5.66
Another great book from Ray Mears. This book is divided into seasons which is helpful for wildlife but can be slightly confusing for other things. He covers things in detail instead of just skimming.
SAS: Mountain and Arctic Survival (SAS Essential Survival Guides)SAS: Mountain and Arctic Survival (SAS Essential Survival Guides) by Barry Davies
Buy used from: £6.00
This is one of a series of books written by Barry Davis. This books aren't as focussed on one subject as the title sugests. Relitively accurate and useful though.
SAS: Desert Survival (SAS Essential Survival Guides)SAS: Desert Survival (SAS Essential Survival Guides) by Barry Davies
Buy used from: £9.72
Second in this series of books on survival. Annoyingly this book contain much of the same information, in exactly the same format. You have to skim through the information to find something new.
SAS: Jungle Survival (SAS Essential Survival Guides)SAS: Jungle Survival (SAS Essential Survival Guides) by Barry Davies
Buy used from: £12.92
Again the same book with some slightly different information. Another bad think about these books is how they focus on just one area. For example there is nothing relating to deciduous forests.
Outdoor Survivial GuideOutdoor Survivial Guide by Hugh McManners
Buy used from: £0.75
This a relitively good book with clear photos. However some of the information seems obvious and some of it is down right wrong possibly even life threatening. Still an interesting book though.
