Bushcraft Books for Beginners: My top 3 choices

If you are looking to get into bushcraft and perhaps get some books on the subject, the choices can be overwhelming. I've put this short video together to hopefully help those people looking where to start. I've chosen three of my favourite bushcraft books and this video is about why I think they are good choices for beginners to bushcraft.
The 10 Bushcraft books by Richard Graves: Probably one of the first books out there to coin the term bushcraft, Graves has compiled decades of real life experience into this collection. This book includes 10 core topics, including survival skills, bushcraft tools, and the importance of understanding the environment. You can use this book to get a thorough understanding of the basics of bushcraft and work your way up from there.
Out on the Land by Lars Falt and Ray Mears: Full to the brim with full colour images and detailed information, Out on the Land is full of helpful tips that will help you build your bushcraft skills. From building a shelter to foraging for food, Mears covers it all. If you are looking for a comprehensive guide to bushcraft, this book is for you.
Northern Bushcraft by Mors Kochanski: This is an absolute must-have for any bushcraft beginner. It is considered a classic for bushcraft enthusiasts and provides comprehensive guidance on the basics of bushcraft. It covers topics like shelter-building, fire-building, tools, food and water procurement, and many more. It is an ideal guide if you are looking to develop your bushcraft skills.

What an underrated channel! I'm new, came for knives, stayed for bushcraft. Great job man.

I just found your channel, watched a few of your videos, and I must say that your production quality is top notch, especially for a small channel! I’m trying to get into bushcraft myself, and I find your videos extremely informative and very calming to watch. Thank you for your work and keep it up!

Very nice comment! Thanks for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. 😁

You create really good videos, you can't talk about survival without bringing up Lars Falt and Ray Mears!

Paul Kirtley's axe book is really cool, especially with all those colour photos. Unfortunately a little on the expensive side because of this.

[@artoftheoutdoors]

It’s not the cheapest no. But great one to have in the collection

Loved this ❤

Thanks dude!

I thoroughly agree with your choices; they are all outstanding, especially the Ray Mears book. Another one that’s a good choice is “Wildwood Wisdom”, by Ellsworth Jaeger. It too is an excellent source of woodcraft information and is still in print. Excellent video!

[@artoftheoutdoors]

Thanks for your feedback! I’ll add that one to the bookshelf. 😁
