Malcolm, a survival expert, discusses his three favorite survival books. His number three pick is Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival by Dave Canterbury. He praises the book for its comprehensive coverage of wilderness survival, including topics such as creating a camp, catching food, building shelter, and creating fire. However, he notes that the book lacks pictures and diagrams, which can make some of the more complicated projects difficult to understand.
His number two pick is The Survival Handbook: Essential Skills for Outdoor Adventure. This book focuses on both wilderness and urban survival, and is filled with pictures and illustrations that make it easy to understand the information presented. The book covers a wide variety of survival situations, including first aid tips, shelter building, and survival hacks. Malcolm notes that this book is great to read from cover to cover, or to skim through and pick a specific project to practice.
My top pick for a survival guide is the SAS Survival Guide 2E (Collins Gem): For any climate. My top pick for a survival guide is the SAS Survival Guide Pocket Edition. This book is well-known and covers a wide range of subjects, including different terrains, weather situations, and urban survival. It also includes information on shelters, traps, repurposing items, poisonous and edible plants, and identifying poisonous snakes. The pocket edition makes it easy to take with you on the go, whether it be in your car, bug out bag, or #camping gear.
Overall, Malcolm highly recommends all of these books for anyone interested in survival. He also mentions that Dave Canterbury has a YouTube page and recently released an Advanced Bushcraft: An Expert Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival.
