>>1724270No general books whatsoever. Stuff like telling north from where moss grows or gaining water from fishing, cutting up the fish and wringing them out is just larping.
Instead, focus on what you want to learn. For me that was mostly self-sufficency. The english books I found helpful there are:
John Seymour "The complete book of self-sufficiency": not complete by any means and horribly outdated in some aspects, but one of the few books that don't try to reduce self-sufficiency to growing food and keeping animals, covering stuff like carpentry and forestry as well.
"Northern bushcraft" (not sure on the name of the author): covers safe axe, saw and knife usage as well as some basic bushcraft.
That's basically it. Though I've read more than a hundred books on /out by now, those two and one german booklet on international emergency codes (stuff like communicating with planes through signs, the alpine, maritime and morse SOS signals etc) are the only one's I'd actually recommend buying. The rest was mostly larp tier stuff written by people who must've never been out, for people that will never be, but want to feel like they could.
