FM 3-05.70 is the only thing I ever needed for survival.

For living, not just surviving, and for something related exclusively to my neck of the woods, it's Vivre en Foret by Paul Provencher (I live in Quebec.) Old (1973), but very reliable and full of stuff for daily living innawoods.

I've found that most of them have about 85% of the same basic skills in them, 10% of skills that are in other books but done slightly differently, and about 5% of unique useful advice and techniques that the author picked up in some out of the way obscure place.

To be honest I've found a lot of the content in this book to be irrelavant for normal /out/ use (where you go out voluntarily). It's more of a handbook in the sence that if you somehow, suddenly need to booby trap your home or have to know how to rappel you can look it up.
Fore general /out/ing I find Ray Mears Essential Bushcraft more relevant, allthough it's more a book you would like to have read than one you would carry around

Yeah the SAS book, despite being called a 'handbook' isn't anything of the sort. It covers a lot of stuff, everything from plane crashes, emergency child delivery, making shelters in the snow, and setting up observation nests within an urban setting. If I'm going /out/ I tend to read the area I need as a refresher, that's it.

One of them talks about how you can spot an Aboriginal camp site and how it's an indicator of useful things nearby. eg. Water.

The other talks about how Aboriginals can be useful to you when /out/ but you have to refrain from looking down on them when they steal your tobacco and whatnot.

If it's an actual campsite of one on a nomadic trek, they'll likely be pretty friendly and helpful.

If you stumble upon a community, There's likely to be police not far off or a teacher/nurse with mobile phone that works.

These situations are also only likely to happen in the northern desserts and tropics these days.

These books were printed in the 40s and are describing different things.
The campsite one is in one book and it's talking about if you find a deserted campsite. Indicators of what might be around. eg. If there's shells maybe you can get some food that way nearby.
The other is describing encounters with Aboriginals out in the bush.

Any good Fictional books you people like to read while out?
The Best of the Realms series is pretty good,just a collection of short stories from Wizards of the Coast authors.

Recently started reading The Smoke Jumper which is pretty neat but kinda dramatic, and picked up a book called California at the library today about a couple living in a post society collapse LA area and they end up needing to join a settlement and shit gets crazy.

I've tried reading John Muirs writings but i feel like they're boring as fuck without being where he was and seeing the same shit. but i've also never had an affliction for non-fiction
