I just ordered 3 survival books from amazon, came to RU-vid and saw this and every single book I ordered was in the video so I’m happy lmao

Your 2nd choice book "The Survival Handbook" is written by Colin Towell - a UK ex-military survival instructor who also taught survival at one of the USA military survival schools for 3 years. I now that he appreciates your kind comments about his book. Keep up the good work.

Dave Canterbury's RU-vid channel is a treasure trove of fantastic videos

Dave is a personal friend of mine for many years. You nailed the 5 c"s. Checkout the rest of his books, he has a couple more. Great recommendation.

Dave's bush craft 101 is my #2 favorite book. my #1 is SAS pocket detection. I put 1 in each of my family member back pack. I think it the 6th essentially tool to survive. Love your video's keep them coming

A great read on the actual psychology of survival is Endurance, it's about Sir Edward Shackleton's failed expedition to the South Pole. It's an amazing feat and probably the best survival story ever told 😊

I like both Cody Lundins books, I thought I ordered the 101 book, but when I Got it turned out I ordered the advanced, so patiently waiting for it to come in the mail.......

I also recommend getting survival guides that are specifically relevant to your area, most survival guides will be focused on one continent (say North America or Britain) and you will be able to glean basic info but not specific info.

Sas security handbook by Andrew Kain, Escape the wolf and 100 deadly skills by Clint Emerson. Solid reads. Also on a different level. Facing violence, and conflict resolution...Rory Miller

Thanks for the information that you gave us,Now i Will never afraid of being Lost When Go To Hiking.Nice content

Even been 7 years old this VIDEO, the BOOKS recommended , are still exelente .... THANKS.

That SAS Survival Guide Pocket Edition really sounds like a great idea, not to mention if you're escaping with someone not as knowledgeable, and for some reason you can't be of help.

Watch it again and count how many times he smacks the cover of the book or smacks the desk.

10* Many, many great books on several topics on bushcrafting and prepping.

Favourite books....well its Ray Mears, Mors Kochanski and John 'Lofty' Wiseman for me! But any book that gives lots of explantory illustrations for me is the best. Also 'bushcraft' and 'survival' are two different concepts but with some overlapping interests and features, so its all up for grabs really.

yes, very good video, i bought the colin towell 8 years ago i think and it's pretty good. And the sas pocket edition is great for going out and bringing it in the backpack.

My personal favorite outdoor manual is the Handbook for Boys Fifth Edition from the late 1940's. Yes, an older version of the boy scout handbook. I found a vintage copy at the local book store for $10.

great video keep it up!!!

Thanks helped me a lot

Yup, the SAS book is fantastic. I have both the large version and pocket carry one. It covers pretty much everything you need to survive in different environments.

Thanks: great suggestions.

i have the full set of dave cantebarry's books im a big fan of him myself.

SAS Survival Guide, whoops, where are my reading glasses? oh no, I left them at home!

Subscribed, I enjoyed your opinion on the books. My favorites are the SAS Survival Guide Pocket Edition, Mykel Hawke's Green Beret Survival Manual and my third book isn't really a survival guide, but in my opinion it's important to have a medic based skill so Sam Coffman's "The Herbal Medic - Volume 1" which could be life saving.

There are great book suggestions in the comment section :) Thank you Survival Know How for covering these three important books, my number one is and always has been the SAS survival guide. Hope you are doing well :)

Great info" Thank you......

I also have a few peterson field guids and 5 outdoor life/ field and stream manuals

You are right with number one but you should get the bigger book of that SAS book to read at home it has a lot more in it and is even better than the book you had at number two. Thank you for your video.

bought the Survival Handbook and Advanced Bushcraft based on your recommendation. Great books. Thanks.

Wonderful video !!!!!!

Hi, how can I download this books in ePub or pdf format for my pad?

Total newbie. Only Cody Lundins 98.6 degrees has all the info to stay alive in a wilderness situation. All of these books present only optimised versions of how to survive in the wild.

Have you checked out ‘The complete SAS survival manual’ by Barry Davies? I have the pocket edition SAS and also the Barry Davies sas one as well. Also I’m waiting for my survival book by Dan Shelley.

bear grylls living wild and ray mears outdoor survival handbook. excelent books.

The Ten Bushcraft Books by Richard Graves. Out of Print but available on the internet as open domain, I believe.....

I have the sas survival book and I leave it in the bathroom for a lil bathroom reading. you'd be surprised how fast you get thru it

Does that sas pocket addition book have how you can filter water with charcoal? Btw, great videos I finally came across a good survival channel.

I have both books and together they are quite good to have.

I can't believe this didn't include the U.S Army FM 21- 76 survival that is a really good one!

How would you rank the lost ways book?

With the pocket guide, you should also recommend a good pair of reading glasses. Also a SECOND PAIR of reading glasses because two is one and one is none.

When I was first starting out with reading survival books and gaining knowledge I read a book called survivor kid by Denise long it was very good for a beginner book easy to read and visual pictures I would recommend it for all beginners

Maybe you should got Dave canterbury's book on his Illustrated Bushcraft book

Would love a video related to war and nukes. Very relevant.

I like this guy's videos. He gets right to it and doesn't try to be "RU-vid cute". His videos on camping gear are great.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is a great book so is Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen which is the second one in the series and the third one is Brian's return I'm reading it right now.

My library survival books are always checked out i was able to get one today that im goin to get tomorrow its by David nash survival for beginners looking forward to it

I got both of Dave's books they,are great.

great video!! great song!! (0:33) whats the name?

Just ordered all three but the number two in a mess tin version I hope it's just a smaller version cuz it's half the page numbers 😅

The same Dave C. said that the book sucks because the edition, the editorial cut a lot of think and also changed some subjets. He said "the book I wrote and the book they published are totally diferent, they ruined". Well...

It is very saddening that I have to research survival books because our countries are losing their damn minds

Agreed about the size of the SAS Survival Guide, and the depth of information in it. A portable option that I've really found valuable is a basic Kindle loaded with survival titles. The very basic black and white Kindle keeps a battery charge for several weeks, and can literally carry around an entire library. I take mine backpacking, camping, and traveling with me.

Another good one is Mykel Hawke's Special Forces Survival Handbook. But the most important book in my opinion would be a color wild edible plant ID book.

what about the pocket ref?

I will choose SAS cause I believe In thatcher and captain price

How many books have you read?

been reading loftys work for yrs ... don't know the second one 3rd is a great book but look up gene Ward 5 essentials 1968 my favorite. book larry Dean Olsen primitive survival .... myke hawk and wildwoods wisdom top 3

The SAS survival hand book is also on E Books now

I love Dave

Don’t forget the preppers grid down survival guide by Jim Jackson

Advanced Bushcraft has a few More Drawn Pictures than the 101, Dave's center around Primitive survival, which is what I like, but I am Not a fan of Bear and his Trademark Gear, most of it is Cheap China Made junk, I like the SAS guide as well but I have the larger 5x8 sized, fits my Sling pack for Day walks, and easier to read for us less than 20/20 eye sight guys. I will be looking for that 2nd book, Not into Urban survival but if it has One thing I didn't know its worth getting.

Fan also of Dave, are you sure he came up with the five C's? Good video, Thanks. SaS, Dave's 101,and Identifying and harvesting edible and medicinal plants by Steve Brill.

Dave’s books are the best .. picture books are from the same people the brought you D&D

Cody Lundin's books should be in anybody's survival library. At least or my first choice would be "98.1 Degrees, How to Keep Your Ass Alive". I do have copies of the SAS books, but Cody's books are smaller in overall size and easy to carry. And like Creek Stewart his advice is based on years of knowledge, real world scenarios and scientific facts and data. Older books like those by Bradford Angier or Tom Brown are good too, and while still relevant, like many older books they don't offer as many new tricks nor do they include modern gear. This also applies to military survival manuals which focus on using military equipment and exclude techniques or information on modern day camping, survival or everyday household items we can use. I also have many books such as the second one you had shown. The books have different authors, but all have good information, many hacks and nice photos, illustrations and drawings. They emphasize different aspect or types of survival, but all are good additions. For their resourcefulness and newer techniques and information, Creek Stewart's books are also very good choices.

When it comes to survival books , theres all kinds , me i prefer books onda area i reside in, my go to books , SAS, David Canterbury 3 book series, My Peterson guide on edible plants and Medicinal plants, in , the wildflowers of North Eastern &North Central, North America ,theres a plethora of all kinds of survival books

LOL as he's paging through Dave's book and telling us it doesn't have very many illustrations, every page had illustrations.

Unfortunately all three books (and like the countless he did not mention) contain absolute rubbish (as well) which could get one into serious trouble and or an uncomfortable situation. They are however, great to read to pass the time (and some are on my shelf) but if one believes that they can handle the wilds after reading them better go and learn from someone in the flesh on a real trip, not in a park close to the shops, someone's backyard etc. Where can I find such place/organisation? Try a university hiking or camping/caving club for a start. Avoid the TV celebs like the plague, because first and foremost, they are exactly that, TV celebs trying to make a buck away from TV. There are many myths propagated within such books, for example: the "fire reflector wall" type structures, just to mention but one of many.

Is that a bear grylls knife? Oh boy!

"arctic manual" by vilhjalmur stefansson. that's the real deal, even mors kochansky reveres it. getting originals is expensive, but there's a china-print for 20bucks, for those who dont mind

knowledge and wisdom are both different entities

Knowledge is not power knowledge is life.

Is the SAS (pocket) "Revised Edition" on amazon the same book here?

THIS IS DRIVING ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS MAD!!!!! What is his latest SAS Survival book?

Are these 3 books enough for the apocalypse survival?

YO DUDE? PUH-LEEZE "GET TO WHERE THE HORSES ARE!" I like lots of different kinds of music, BUT...We are talking about lots of People trying to SURVIVE a CRAP HITS THE FAN Situation. Thank You very Much.

I think that you don't get the full book on the iPhone app but I maybe wrong on that and not everyone has an iPhone still its a good list. May I recommend Cody Lundin's 98.6 & Dave McCann Building the perfect survival kit 2ND edition. as great reads with a lot of good stuff in them. Many Thanks

SAS pocket edition or advanced bushcraft book?

Why not "The Lost Ways"?

I would only add one more and thats the ARMY suevuval manual...but being prejudiced cause Im retired Army

*Bushcraft: Mors Kochanski* Supposed to be a great resource, but I have not read it yet.

My favort survival books are "Camping & Wilderness Survival" (small book) and "Camping & Survival" (large paper back book) written by Paul Tawrel. They both have digrams and photos of technique and different survival items and equipment. They also have other tips that other survival books don't mention at all. They both are exellent book and I do recomend these book to check out.

when i am out in the woods and i get hungry i just go to mc donalds

Tom Brown's survival guide is wilderness 101. Leave those other books at the barnes and nobles.

you dont need to know it all for survival. Just basics, shelter,fire and find and be able to drink water. Be bloody good at thoose 3 things and you will be fine. Building traps is and kill animal in them demand so much more knowledge than just making the trap. If you must have food fishing is far better. Ofcourse a nice pocket book can be nice to have along to practice some stuff in the woods.

SAS AWESOME BOOK

Pocket ref 4th edition

The SAS Survival Guide for 71$ on Amazon? I don’t think so lol

i disagree on the sas size only because i want to be able to read it and not try an read it with a magnifier to hard

PLEASE ADVISE RE: THE LOST WAYS

advice if you have the money get an eBook. so you can carry an entire library of knowledge with you at all time.

There are a lot of components to prepping. One resource I discovered which successfully combines these is the Marla survive system (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the no.1 survival website i've heard of. Check out the incredible free video.

Paul Campbell's Survival Skills of native California is not on this list? That book is very very extensive and it is factual information backed up by many Universities.

all these books would make great tinder.

98.6 degrees ways to keep your ass alive by Cody Lundin Is a must.

So who is the guy in this video's thumbnail? smh...

US Army survival manual

Boy scout handbooks

Bushcraft 101 has hardly pictures and makes the book almost useless. Still is a good read but you need to go elsewhere to see how its done
