| From the "how to shelf"
"The Backpackers Field Manual" by Rick Curtis. Not a bad introduction book, found informative and concise. Meant for trip leaders, good common sense, and answered some of the questions I was too timid to ask on line. Like how do you back your first pack.
"Wilderness Living" by Gregory Davenport. Shows you how to build fires, string gill net, and make a shelter. A fun read, found it a a used book store.
"Be Expert with Map and Compass" by Bjorn Kjellstrom. Very instructional, easy to follow. The "original" Orienteering book. Contains sample foldout maps, paper compass and protractor. Also found at the used book store.
"US Army Survival Manual" Reprint of the Department of the Army Field Manual. Nine bucks at B&N and I'm a hero to my nephews.
Peterson's Field Guides;
"Edible Wild Plants"- as if I am brave enough to try a mushroom by a stream.
"A Field Guide to the Birds"
