Survival Guides

what are the best survival guides out there to buy and learn from?

I mean what are the best and useful, like if the world out there ceased to exist (economy wise) who would know how to survive out in the woods, from trapping food, to medical plants, to shelter, equipment, water, all that good stuff...... some guides out there offer how to escape a charging elephant, i dont really need that if you know what I mean. Im talking about American, European climates maybe maybe some South America, Who s book should I get?

1. I suggest you join the Army and after completing basic training, sign up for the Rangers. They will teach you everything you ever want to know, plus you get paid while doing it.
2. I had this same idea, I bought the US Army Survival manual. Its great it shows you how to trap, eat, what to eat, build shelters. I mean this thing is great I highly recomend it. This is just what you are looking for.
3. You could also check out Les Stroud's book. It's called "Survive! - Essential Skills and Tactics to Get You Out of Anywhere--Alive". He's the host of Survivorman and really knows his stuff. Plus, he's very entertaining. The book comes out in November.
