I've recently started getting interested in bushcraft and I'd like to get a good book with plenty of information in it. I've got Ray Mear's Essential Bushcraft and it's good but I'm sure there is plenty more that I could learn. I thought about getting this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAS-Survival...ref=pd_sim_b_2 is it any good? my only worry is it will be geared too bush towards survival rather than campcraft type things.
Thanks.

I'm not really a bushcrafter, but for a hiker or a climber it's usefull, too.
Then again, some of the thing in this book are pretty specialized, like traps to kill big game and things like that 
Also, a real live bushcrafting/survival course might teach you more than a book. |

It's an eBook - I hope that's OK.

I have an older edition of the book. Some very useful info. It's geared a little more towards the Canadian boreal forest, but it could still be useful to you.
