23 Best Bushcraft Books: Modern and Classic Survival Guides

We researched many of the bushcraft books available and found The Bushcraft Boxed Set to be the best collection of Bushcraft books.

Purchasing the right book on bushcraft is not easy. Most book descriptions don’t tell you how useful the book really is. Unless you buy them all, how do you decide?

I solved this problem for you and compiled this list of the best bushcraft books. I own or reviewed all of the books on this list and explain why each of these made it to this list.

I have been reading bushcraft and survival guides and studying survival skills since I was a boy. I remember going to the library and looking through all the books they had that was on anything about the outdoors and camping. I have read, collected, and probably lost more books than I can remember over the past 40 years. This list includes some of the best ones I have found.

Survival books are great – not just for someone planning a long-term camp in the woods. They are also good for hunters, campers, hikers, or anyone looking for short or long term survival information. Much of the information applies no matter if you are in the woods on purpose or not. These books are great for an emergency preparedness library as well.

While modern technology has brought us YouTube, a book still works when the power goes out. You can read these outside at camp or have them ready to go in an emergency. I also enjoy reading and can do it much faster than watching someone ramble on in a video.

Keep reading to find out which books are the best for you.

Bushcraft 101: A Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival

• Author: Dave Canterbury
• Length: 256 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle, Spiral-bound
• Size: 5.5” x 0.8” x 8.44”

The Author:

Dave Canterbury is one of the top modern survivalists and bushcraft instructors. He runs the Pathfinder bushcraft and survival school in southeast Ohio. He starred in the Dual Survival TV show for two seasons in 2010 and has since published over 7 books. He takes his inspiration from the pioneers and woodcraft experts from the late 19^th century (which we discuss below).

The Book:

Published in 2014, Bushcraft 101 has become one of the most popular bushcraft and survival books. It combines primitive techniques with modern technology that has become commonplace. For example, he recommends carrying a few Bic lighters and a fire-starting kit.

In the book, Dave immediately starts by explaining his 5 C’s of survival, which are Cutting Tools, Cover Elements, Combustion Devices, Containers, and Cordage. The following five chapters are then dedicated to each subject.

In part two, Dave reviews setting up camp, navigation with a map and compass, touches on the different uses of trees, and concludes with trapping and processing game.

This book is great for beginners since it details what to look for in each tool Dave recommends. For example, he spends quite a bit of time explaining what features the best bushcraft knife should include.

I like how he describes exactly what tools are needed and what qualities you should look for in each.

This book is fairly limited on illustrations, but even Dave said he would have liked more, but publishing did not allow it. He did follow up this book with an illustrated guide which is a great accompanying book (this one is later on our list).

I should also mention that there is a box set available that includes this book, along with three others that I also recommend. Save some money and buy The Bushcraft Boxed Set.

Recommended for:

Bushcraft 101 is recommended for everyone that is interested in bushcraft, survival, or just the outdoors in general. It is the first book you should read.

Bushcraft: Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival

• Author: Mors Kochanski
• Length: 304 Pages
• Available in: Paperback
• Size: 5.5” x 0.69” x 8.5”

The Author:

Mors Kochanski was a Canadian wilderness survival instructor. He spent his life in the Northern forests of Canada and was interested in bushcraft and camp craft at an early age. He actually quit the Boy Scouts after one year because he didn’t think it was serious enough.

He wrote his first book in 1988 and published two others, along with multiple booklets and magazine articles, before his death in 2019. Dave Canterbury mentions Mors as an inspiration in the introduction to his Bushcraft 101 book.

The Book:

Bushcraft: Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival is a classic bushcraft book. It was originally titled “Northern Bushcraft” since it was based on techniques Mors learned in Northern Canada. The first two-thirds of the book focuses on the six “crafts” of bushcraft. Mors calls these firecraft, axecraft, knifecraft, sawcraft, bindcraft, and sheltercraft.

The first 50 pages of the book are dedicated to how to start a fire and fire-starting gear. Mors describes starting and maintaining a fire as “the most useful and important skill” in bushcraft. Nearly every page has an illustration with handwritten notes. It’s almost like you have a copy of Mors’s personal notebook. The description of how to make a feather stick is great.

There are over 70 pages on bushcraft tools like knives, camp axes, and bushcraft saws. I like how Mors describes what to look for in each tool (very similar to our buying guides) and how to use each one safely.

Since Mors lived in the North Forest of Canada, he is a specialist in camping in very cold weather. The Shelter chapter of this book is amazing, with many different bushcraft shelter ideas and techniques illustrated.

In the final chapters, Mors discusses edible and medicinal plants and trees. In addition, there are chapters on hunting and butchering moose and hare. These chapters are useful if you live in the northern forests of Canada but not as much if you live elsewhere.

Overall, this is a great book with great info on bushcraft tools, fire-making skills, and shelters.

Recommended for:

Bushcraft: Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival is for anyone who is interested in Bushcraft. The last third of the book is more for Northern regions, but the first two-thirds apply anywhere.

The Bushcraft Essentials Field Guide

• Author: Dave Canterbury
• Length: 224 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle, Spiral Bound
• Size: 4.5” x 0.56” x 7”

The Bushcraft Essentials Field Guide is a survival guide based on Dave’s 5 x 5 survival system. It is a smaller book that you can easily carry in your bushcraft pack, in a get-home bag in your vehicle, or in a bug-out pack at home.

The 5 x 5 system is based on 5 survival priorities with 5 critical points. The priorities cover what you need to know in a survival emergency, such as self-aid, shelter, fire, hydration, and navigation & signaling.

While this is not a book focused strictly on bushcraft, it does use many of the techniques from Dave’s other bushcraft books. This book is more focused on summarizing the most important topics and simplifying them so you can quickly apply them.

I like that nearly every page has some sort of illustration. The explanations are short and concise, and easy to understand. What you should pack is included, as well as how to use each item.

I have studied my copy a few times, and it stays with my gear. It is essential for your hiking pack, bushcraft pack, and your emergency pack. You never know when you might need it.

Recommended for:

The Bushcraft Essentials Field Guide is for everyone, even if you don’t spend much time outdoors. The easy-to-follow and concise info in this book could save your life if you are hiking or just trying to get home to your family in an emergency.

Advanced Bushcraft: An Expert Field Guide to the Art of Wilderness Survival

• Author: Dave Canterbury
• Length: 256 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle, Spiral-bound
• Size: 5.5” x 0.8” x 8.44”

Advanced Bushcraft is Dave Canterbury’s follow-up to Bushcraft 101. It gets into more detail on the topics discussed in the first book. It then dives into primitive crafting techniques like weaving, tanning, and blacksmithing.

Dave expands the 5 C’s of survival discussed in the first book to the 10 C’s for longer stays in the woods. He adds Cotton material, Cargo Tape, Candling devices, Compasses, and a Canvas repair needle.

While there is certainly great information in this book, I felt that it repeated some of the same things discussed in the first book. This made me want to skip around and lost my interest in places. This made it not as easy to read as the first book for me.

I did enjoy the Appendix on Primitive Navigation. I use these tips in my daily life to stay oriented. It seems I always want to know which way North is for some reason. Dave’s take on Swiss Army knives versus multitools is also interesting.

For me, this book is a great reference to all the advanced survival ideas and methods. However, this is not a manual per se, so if you really want to practice some of the methods, more research is required. There is too much info to try and cram into one book.

Note that this book is included in the Bushcraft Box Set if you would like to save some money.

Recommended for:

Advanced Bushcraft is for anyone wanting to dive deeper into bushcraft and discover additional techniques to use at camp. If you plan to spend a lot of time at camp, this book is a must after you read Bushcraft 101.

Essential Bushcraft

• Author: Ray Mears
• Length: 240 Pages
• Available in: Paperback
• Size: 5.75” x 0.55” x 7.83”

The Author:

Ray Mears is a British woodsman and a well-known survivalist. He has appeared on numerous bushcraft and survival TV shows in England and the US. In 1983 he founded Woodlore, Britain’s first school of wilderness bushcraft that still offers courses. He has authored 15 books on bushcraft, survival, and outdoor cooking.

The Book:

Essential Bushcraft covers all of the essential topics of bushcraft, from firecraft, shelters, foraging, crafting tools, and tracking animals. The illustrations are very good in this book, much better than most others. The size of this book is also small enough to keep in your pack for reference at camp.

I like that this book is easy to read, and Ray does a good job of explaining the reasons behind the methods he presents. He presents small details that seem like fluff at first but really is useful tidbits once you practice the methods. His experience with safely using saws, axes, and knives is apparent. His description of how to split wood with a saw seems strange initially, but it is a great technique (for a video of this, see our best bushcraft saw guide).

Since Ray’s home and experience are mainly in the UK, the information on plants and animals is somewhat limited. If you are looking for more info on the desert southwest of the US, for example, you may need supplemental books to this one.

Recommended for:

Essential Bushcraft is a very good basic book for bushcraft or wilderness survival. It is one of the keystones of an outdoorsman’s library.

Bushcraft: The Ultimate Guide to Survival in the Wilderness

• Author: Richard Graves
• Length: 352 Pages
• Available in: Paperback
• Size: 5.25” x 1.1” x 8”

The Author:

Richard Graves was born in Ireland in 1897 and moved to Australia when he was 14. He served in World War I with the 25th Infantry Battalion of the Australian Imperial force. He also served in World War II, in which he founded and led the Australian Jungle Rescue Detachment. His team completed over 300 rescues without losing a man.

This experience led him to start a bushcraft school after the war.  He ran the school for over twenty years and arguably was the first to coin the “Bushcraft.” Richard passed away in 1971.

The Book:

Bushcraft: The Ultimate Guide to Survival in the Wilderness is a classic book that was put together from 10 shorter books that Graves wrote over his lifetime. While it is not a comprehensive guide for a beginner, there are a lot of great tidbits of info and some great tips. The chapter on how to make your own cordage is especially interesting.

This book is written by an Australian, so if you are unfamiliar with some slang, it may be hard to understand. It is also geared towards the Australian outback. Most of the info applies anywhere, but if you live in a totally different environment, it may lack some techniques or strategies useful to your area.

I like that the author focuses on mindset and how bushcraft can benefit people in everyday life. He discusses how it can help confidence and your ability to overcome obstacles. This is a big part of our message on Survival Stoic and why bushcraft is such an important part of stoicism and everyday life.

Recommended for:

Bushcraft: The Ultimate Guide to Survival in the Wilderness is for an experienced outdoorsman looking for a classic Bushcraft book. There are some great tidbits of info in this book that you can reference many times.

Bushcraft First Aid: A Field Guide to Wilderness Emergency Care

• Author: Dave Canterbury
• Length: 256 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle
• Size: 5.5” x 0.8” x 8.44”

Bushcraft First Aid expands on Dave’s Bushcraft 101 book and is dedicated to Wilderness First Aid and Emergency Care. It covers all of the possible injuries that you could face in the woods.

I like that this book focuses on first aid for the bush crafter or anyone out in the woods away from civilization. Most first aid books do not consider that your resources are limited and what you really need to do.

For example, if a patient is in shock, most books tell you what to do but not how. Dave explains how to make a shelter for warm and cold weather, build a fire, and boil water in less than 15 minutes.

Dave covers everything from broken bones, knife injuries, and gunshot wounds to heart attacks and lightning injuries.

Plants and trees that can be used for medicinal purposes are also covered. There is a nice color section with photographs of useful plants that make them easy to identify.

This book is a great field guide you should carry during any extended outing in the woods or on the trail. It is fairly large, but it is worth it.

Recommended for:

Bushcraft First Aid should be purchased by anyone that is going to spend time in the wilderness for any extended length of time and is not just for bushcrafters. It could save your or a friend’s life during a hunting trip, hike, camping excursion, or even a road trip. It is also great for your emergency preparedness library.

The Bushcraft Field Guide to Trapping, Gathering, and Cooking in the Wild

• Author: Dave Canterbury
• Length: 256 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle, Spiral Bound
• Size: 5.5” x 0.8” x 8.44”

The Bushcraft Field Guide to Trapping, Gathering, and Cooking in the Wild takes the basics you learn about in Bushcraft 101 and takes it to a whole new level.

Cooking may not seem like a big deal if you are only hiking for the day or camping for one night. Even if you don’t plan on spending an extended time in the wilderness, there are a lot of great tips in this book that anyone who cooks outdoors can benefit from.

Dave starts by discussing the food to bring to camp. There are recipes for simple foods like trail mix and pemmican that you can make beforehand. There are also some great tips on pre-packaged foods that are easy to make at camp.

The second part of the book really goes into detail on not only how to start a fire and a proper bushcraft fire kit but also on the different types of wood to use and the benefits of each.

The third section of the book concentrates on trapping and foraging. There are some great trap ideas with good illustrations for both catching fish and small animals. I especially like that there is a small color section with photographs of plants that are edible and look-alikes to avoid.

The book concludes with some great camp recipes. The peach cobbler is great, although you need to bring a Dutch oven with you to camp.

Similar to the Bushcraft First Aid Book above, this book is a field guide since there is no way to remember all of the info. If you are tight on space, you may just want to make notes on what you would like to try and not pack the entire book.

Recommended for:

The Bushcraft Field Guide to Trapping, Gathering, and Cooking in the Wild is for anyone who likes to cook outdoors. It covers the basics of premade food to advanced topics like trapping and foraging.

Bushcraft Illustrated: A Visual Guide

• Author: Dave Canterbury
• Length: 252 Pages
• Available in: Hardcover
• Size: 8” x 0.9” x 10”

Bushcraft Illustrated: A Visual Guide is an illustrated guide that follows along with Bushcraft 101 fairly closely. It contains all of the illustrations that could not fit in the original book.

As you read each section of Bushcraft 101, it is helpful to follow along with this book to help understand some of the explanations.

What I really like about this book is it looks great. It is a hardcover book with a nice binding and textured cover. It is a great coffee table book or a reference book for your bookshelf. This book is affordable, so go for the hardcover and not the Kindle version.

If you ever wanted to start a friction fire with a bow drill, this book is a great guide. It has plenty of pictures showing the hearth, bearing block, and spindle and how they should be made.

I also like the plant section that shows illustrations of all the useful plants that are discussed in Dave’s books. Each illustration references which section of the book that plant is discussed.

Recommended for:

Bushcraft Illustrated: A Visual Guide is for anyone interested in bushcraft or the outdoors in general. It is a great book to follow along with Bushcraft 101 or to just flip through casually.

U.S. Air Force Survival Handbook

• Author: Forward by Jay McCullough
• Length: 592 Pages
• Available in: Paperback
• Size: 8.5” x 1.3” x 11”

I am sure you are thinking of skipping this one. After all, it is not really a bushcraft book, and everyone and their brother has copied something out of this book and called it their own.

Or maybe it is a bushcraft book?

I included the U.S. Air Force Survival Handbook here because it contains two key elements. Mindset and primitive survival skills.

The first thing you see when you open the book is a stoic quote by Epictetus:

“Make the best use of what is in your power and take the rest as it happens.”

One of our focuses here on Survival stoic is how stoic wisdom so closely ties into the survival mindset. Since being captured like James Stockdale is a possibility for Air Force pilots, this book focuses heavily on mindset.

When pilots eject over enemy territory, their primary objective is to evade capture, survive the elements, and get rescued. They only have what is in their flight suit. This is not very different from anyone that is living and surviving in the wilderness, either on purpose or not.

This book is huge and has a ton of information on hygiene, reading the weather, and living off of the land. Some of the info is dry and not relevant outside of wartime, but I find it interesting.

I found tidbits of info in this book that are mentioned in most of the other books in this list. For example, details on constructing a water filter is very similar in this book and Dave’s books.

I also enjoy it since my father is an Air Force veteran that flew over Vietnam. I can ask him about anything in the book, and he still remembers a lot of it.

Recommended for:

The U.S. Air Force Survival Handbook is for anyone who wants to take a deep dive into survival mindset and primitive living in various environments. It is a huge book with a ton of information, and takes some time to get through. If you plan to bushcraft or want to prepare for long term survival, this is a good study.

98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive

• Author: Cody Lundin
• Length: 216 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle
• Size: 6” x 0.3” x 9”

The Author:

Cody Lundin is from Arizona and has lived primitively and perfected his self-sustaining skills all his life. He starred in Dual Survival alongside Dave Canterbury. Cody was the barefoot one, remember?

If you watched the show, you know Cody has a unique personality and it comes through in his book.

Cody has certainly experienced all kinds of survival situations and is an experienced primitive survivalist, and knows many bushcraft techniques. He also runs his own survival and bushcraft school, Aboriginal Living Skills School.

The Book:

98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive is more of a survival book and not so much a bushcraft guide. It is very entertaining and has some good info that certainly crosses over for the recreational bush crafter.

As the title suggests, more than half the book focuses on the importance of maintaining your core body temperature to stay alive. It gets technical at times. For example, he explains how the body restricts blood flow in the skin when it is cold in order to keep your core warm.

Another big part of the book focuses on mindset. As you can tell, I think this is so important. He explains how most people that don’t make it through a survival scenario give up mentally long before their body does.

I like the interesting and almost crazy illustrations that are humorous and make the book easy to read.

Later in the book, Cody describes items he keeps in his survival kit and how he uses them. One unusual item is a condom (which is also mentioned in the Air Force Survival Handbook). Be sure you read this section since it is hilarious but very useful. You certainly won’t forget it!

Recommended for:

98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive is for anyone who is interested in bushcraft or how to survive an emergency. This book is entertaining, affordable, and is a great read.

Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living

• Author: John and Geri McPherson
• Length: 328 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle
• Size: 5.5” x 0.74” x 8.5”

The Author:

John and Geri McPherson live in a remote area of Kansas where they teach and practice their bushcraft and survival skills. They have trained people like Les Stroud from the Survivorman TV show, Cody Lundin from the Dual Survivor TV show, and the US Army’s SERE survival instructors. Almost everything on their property they made themselves.

The Book:

The Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living focuses on primitive techniques and living in the wilderness with no modern devices or conveniences. It is very detailed on how to make tools, weapons for hunting, and shelters from just natural items.

I was a little disappointed that it does not cover much about first aid, primitive medicine, or foraging. The photos are also not that good and appear to be copied on a copy machine.

The book is easy to read and written in a conversational style, so it is not just boring, bland info. You can tell that the authors actually live primitively and have a lot of experience making what they need instead of buying it.

Recommended for:

The Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living is for someone interested in living off the land and making what they need instead of buying it. Much of what is in the book translates over to bushcraft with skills that must be practiced before they can be mastered.

SAS Survival Handbook

• Author: John Wiseman
• Length: 672 Pages
• Available in: Paperback, Kindle, Spiral-bound
• Size: 8.05” x 1.2” x 6.2”

The Author:

John Wiseman was the youngest person to ever pass selection for the British Special Air Service (SAS) at the age of 18. He served in the SAS for 26 years in various roles, including as a survival instructor. Upon retiring in 1985, The SAS Survival Handbook was the first book published. He is now an instructor at the Trueways Survival School.

The Book:

The SAS Survival Handbook is a huge book covering not only bushcraft and survival techniques but also first aid, disaster survival, home defense, self-defense, and emergency preparedness. Since it is such a load of information and very popular, I thought it should be included in this list.

I particularly like how Wiseman focuses not only on the techniques but also on the mental aspects of survival. He explains that people often fight terrains, climates, or areas they are not familiar with. “This is not the way to survive – fight it and you will lose.”

There are plenty of great color illustrations and diagrams, from what plants are edible to what snakes are poisonous. Weisman also covers various climates and environments, so this book is not limited to certain climates like some others are.

This book covers a huge amount of material, and it takes some time to get through. Some subjects are not as interesting, so I think of it as more of a reference book than a book to sit down and enjoy.

Recommended for:

The SAS Survival Handbook is for someone looking for more than just a bushcraft book, but something that covers all life-threatening scenarios. This is a great reference book just to have in your library.

Other Bushcraft and Survival Books Worth Considering

Here are some other interesting books on Bushcraft and Survival that are worth considering. These are popular books that are more dedicated to a particular subject.

How to Stay Alive in the Woods, Bradford Angier

This book is an easy read that is full of tidbits of info that are useful in both bushcraft and everyday life. It is written in a casual 1950s tone, so it is a little unique but entertaining to read. Most of this book applies to bushcraft before the term was coined.

How to Eat in the Woods, Bradford Angier

This is a follow-up to the book above and focuses on how to track, trap, hunt, fish, clean, and cook wild game. It also has some good info on foraging, insects, and water.  This book is a good addition to your library if you like hunting, trapping, and foraging.

The Trapper’s Bible, Eustace Hazard Livingston

With a name like Eustace Hazard, you know the author is an outdoorsman. With over 400 pages just about hunting and trapping, this book lives up to its title. There are a ton of tips and illustrations of different traps in this book. It’s a great reference.

Wildwood Wisdom, Ellsworth Jaeger and Lloyd Kahn

This book is a unique and interesting read. It has information from the pioneer days on how to live primitively by making shelters, fires, buckskin clothing, and furniture. It is also an account of life in the 1800s, so it is a great look at history as well.

Basic Safe Travel and Boreal Survival Handbook, Mors Kochanski

This is the follow-up book to Kochanski’s “Bushcraft” book above. This book has some unique details that are very specific. This book is written in a unique tone, and it is kind of drawn out and hard to get through. It is mainly about cold climate areas, but a lot of it applies no matter your environment.

Classic Survival Books – “Woodcraft”

Before the term “Bushcraft” was popular in America, most of the early pioneers in the 1800s and early 1900s called living in the wilderness “Woodcraft.” Below are some classic American books from the Woodcraft era.

Woodcraft and Camping, George W Sears “Nessmuk”

This is a classic book that describes Nessmuk’s adventures through America in the late 1800s. It is written more like a story than a manual. It is also written in the language of the day, which I think makes it even more interesting as a glimpse into the past.

This book has my favorite bushcraft quote in it. “We do not go to the green woods and crystal waters to rough it, we go to smooth it. We get it rough enough at home.”

Camping and Woodcraft, Horace Kephart

This is actually two books that were written in the early 1900s combined into one. The camping book focuses on the camping equipment of the day, which is considered primitive today. The woodcraft book focuses on navigation, knots, and other similar skills we consider “bushcraft” today.

Woodcraft – Legacy Edition, Elmer H Kreps

This book was first published in 1919, and it has great bushcraft techniques, from how to start a fire to building a log cabin. Kreps traveled to many parts of the US and Canada in the early 1900s, where he learned various ways to live in the wilderness. This book is shorter than most and easy to get through.

The Book of Woodcraft and Indian Lore, Ernest Thompson Seton

This book was originally published in 1912 and was issued as a handbook to the boy scouts and girl scouts in the early 1900s. It includes bushcraft techniques as well as interesting info from Native American life. It also includes some fun camp games and stories. If you like history, this is a great book.

The Book of Camp-Lore and Woodcraft, Daniel Carter Beard

This book is also from the early 1900s and is similar to Seton’s book. It includes a collection of camp projects and gadgets that are very thoughtful. It is written in the style of the day but is interesting if you like history and an understanding of what woodcraft was back then.

What is Woodcraft?

In the video below, Dave Canterbury describes how woodcraft and bushcraft are synonymous and how he wanted to call Bushcraft 101 “Woodcraft: The Art of Self-reliance.”

What is the Best Book on Bushcraft and Survival?

I have listed some of the best modern and classic books on bushcraft. Call it bushcraft, survival, or woodcraft. All of these have very similar roots, and they can all benefit any outdoorsman that likes to spend time in the woods hiking, camping, or hunting. They are also great for emergency preparedness.

To save money, I recommend starting with Dave Canterbury’s Bushcraft Box Set and then adding more of these books to your collection as your skills progress. You’ll probably find a specific area that you’re interested in and can then follow your interests.
