Wow, my friend you are a fountain of information! All these will go in our library of titles in what may be the most complete reference of Survival/Bushcraft books anywhere!

There's more coming--still have to format them--but over half of them were in our library when the house burnt down five years ago and a quarter reside in local Sportsman's Rod & Gun Club...The others are on the "To Buy" list when I/we get around to them.

You can also add homesteading and back-to-the-land books to the list as they are geared for a slightly different type of survival.

Steve, in case Shlomo hasn't given you enough to read, you might find an obscure magazine called "The Backwoodsman" of interest. It's published bi-monthly & I noticed that the latest Sept.-Oct. issue made reference to Horace Kephart's book called "Camping and Woodcraft" which I'm currently reading.

I picked up my copy of this magazine at "Barnes & Noble" and found it of interest as it contains articles on guns, knives, knife making, axes, bows &  arrows and lances along with information in general on "the way's of old".

Thanks Kent, that is another good reference. Shlomo made the comment he may have more so probably best to cancel satellite and settle in for a winters reading! This is shaping up as a great resource to look for publication names.

Backwoods Magazine is a great publication that I’ve been reading for years—even had a subscription for about ten years that I let lapse and now will only buy sporadically, whenever there is a number of articles and/or columns to warrant it…Their gun column is being written by the pistolero extraordinaire, noted trainer and trial ballistics expert and not a bad guy as well, Massad Ayoob…In that self same genre of oldie but goodie publication; covering mostly the same topics with more emphasis on trapping is Fur, Fish & Game Magazine…There are also the major competing trio who’ve been publishing articles under one banner head or the other since the late 1800s—Outdoor Life, Filed & Stream and Sports Afield.

Here are some of the magazines I’ve subscribed to or purchase at the counter.

Hi Shlomo! My goodness but you are a wealth of outdoors information. I had no idea that Fur-Fish-Game was still in business? I used to buy that magazine back in the early sixties when I was 14-15 years old. I was buying Case & Buck fixed blade knives back in an era when kids could still purchase & own such items. Camping & outdoor magazines all seemed to go together naturally. Funny, but not much has really changed.

Isn't that a great list?  I think out of all those we currently get two, Mother Earth and Countryside. I am interested in that trapping information as I do some of that now. Great stuff Shlomo, a worthwhile effort!

@ Kent it is funny isn't it, you think everything has changed but a lot of the same publications are still helpful.

Here is a liink from Survival Spot for 120 Useful Books for your Survival Library

 

There's quite a few that he's got that aren't on my list, really, I'm not kidding you--Remember that I really stopped buying ten, fifteen years ago and a lot has been published since then--mostly rehashing stuff that was printed in the 1980s the was copied from books of the 1960s who got their information from books of the 1930s to 1950s who got their info from the first published books of the late 19th century to the 1920s...There are a few titles I'm going to be researching from his list for possible purchase.

 

While a lot of the topics are redundant the list was compiled so that the one hundred odd members of the local shooting and outdoor club wouldn't duplicate titles (other then some of the classics)...We had some forty percent of the books at the club house that could be loaned out, library style and the data base indicated who owned which book(s) and you would be contacted by the person asking to borrow it if it wasn't on the shelves in the clubhouse.

 

Pitching a shelter hasn't changed other then the materials used--canvas, then rip stop nylon or 6mil poly (vapour barrier) or Tyvek house wrap both of which are in my EDC carry pack in the bush.

 

If it doesn't link here is the actual page:

http://www.survival-spot.com/survival-blog/120-useful-books-for-you...

pretty good site, actually even with its under abundance of information.
