Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try Hatchet (and its sequel, Brian's Winter) by Gary Paulsen!. also try reading Jack London's White Fang, Call of the Wild, and To Build a Fire, all by Jack London!. These are all stories written by authors that were (are, in Gary's case) excellent outdoors men!. Though these are not handbooks to go by, reading about the characters' struggles through their eyes, you not only find out the basic needs that any human needs to survive in the wilderness, you also find out what YOU might need to learn, just for your person (yourself, your personal needs, etc!.)
