back pocket bushcraft books?
Just wondering if there are any small back pocket sized books relating to bushcraft, I own the SAS guide but was wondering if theres anything that would compliment it with a few more details on some of the crafts, would rather not lug my bigger books and manuals when I'm out and about
Some of the other gents (and even ladies!) may know of smaller ones a person could carry, I just pack the same SAS Handbook you mentioned. I also have my old & trusty Ranger Handbook to drop in a cargo pocket. Truth be known, I don't go any where without a pocket New Testament, which has kept me going more than anything!!
Mors Kochanski has put out a series of pocket books. Should be able to google around for them. I've got the set upstairs, latter in the day I could go up and bring em down. Some of them are specific to more northern climates if I remember but all have useful info. There is also a pocket book series on outdoor survival/bushcraft, fly tying, stars and the like, I've seen at bookstores, REI and such, again amazon and google you'll find em....

There's a small book called Camp Cookery by Horace Kephart that is small and full of good bush recipes.
A book I usually bring is wild edibles to help me learn plants.

Fur Fish and Game have some smaller sized books may want too check them out Camp and trail methods,woodcraft just a coule of titles
I read an idea that isn't necessarily bushcrafty but it might work. You take and load your cell phone up with several bushcraft books and then get a small pocket solar phone charger. That way you can take your whole library with you in a small amount of space and you have a way to always charge up your phone enough to study your material.

Elmer Kreps' "Woodcraft", in the reprint I bought, is pocket-sized.
Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you. John Muir
