I’m looking for a guide that’s mostly like the SAS Survival Guide (Bonus points if it’s all about survival and the author doesn’t put any political bullshit in with it) but doesn’t assume rescue. It should give information on building long term shelter, long term food sources, long term water sources, etc. (“Long term” being the key words here).
Basically, I want a book that will show the basic skills necessary for surviving months in the wilderness with no hope of rescue or other help.
Like a profession in survival skills and tactics. Such as Bear Grylls when he was in the SAS.

First of all, he is just 11 years old. But, he has something seriously wrong with him. He is obsessed with Weapons of all sorts, mostly Guns, and can name any weapon or Tank or whatever right down to every detail. He carries his BB Guns and Air Soft Rifles with him wherever he goes, is obsessed with Action movies, ( Without regard to plot or substance) and finally is very violent. If I make him Angry, he will threaten to beat me up, usually with regard to shooting my eyes out with his BB gun, which is a constant threat he makes. He is failing in school, and is extremely ignorant about everything, except he knows the complete history of everything that has to do with weapons. It is as if his entire mind is completely devoted to violence, rage, and weaponry. He plays violent video games, watches violent movies, and reads violent books, filling his mind with military knowledge. He has also recently become also obsessed with “SAS Survival Skills” which involves many Military Skills. Is there something seriously wrong with my brother, and if so, what is it called? What can a concerned teen brother do to help?
I heard Primitive Wilderness Living and Survival Skills and SAS books are very good. But they don’t seem to cover everything you would need. I have not read any but I was hoping to find a book that told you EVERTHING that you can do in the wilderness, like how to make a compass, how to follow stars, how to make fish hooks! These books only seem to cover a few things! or am I wrong?
I am just wondering all you have the clothes on your pack and a pocket knive? Do you have any survival skills can you make shelter out of trees? Do you know what berries/mushrooms are safe to eat? Can you make a boat or raft? The reason i am asking this is i just watched Ray mears and he is so handy i think he in an ex SAS soldier and his documentaries are very interesting.
Plus ray mears has great shoulder corr is he married?
