I've owned a copy of "Bushcraft" by Richard Graves since the early 70's. It's pretty worn out now and held together by tape here and there. This is one of my favorite book for the outdoors. As the cover states, "You can survive in the wilderness with only a knife and this book", was probably the reason it caught my eye. The book is only 4"x7"x1" which make it easily to pack in the field.
I tried to replace my copy with a newer one, but could not find one around. I did however find a great replacement. "Camping and Woodcraft" by Horace Kephart. This is a handbook for vacation campers and travelers in the wilderness. Almost the same size as the original "Bushcraft", this copy is 5"x7"x2". This is actually two books together and has replaced my old stand by in the field.
Any one who is looking for a great piece of reading material for the field, I highly suggest obtaining a copy of either of these books.
