We have a fantastic and varied selection of books covering topics including early explorers and adventurers, navigation, scouting, camping and, of course, bushcraft. Here you will find the books that accompany the highly acclaimed Ray Mears television series including Wild Food and The Real Heroes of Telemark, along with Out on the Land, Outdoor Tracking Handbook and Outdoor Survival. Great reading for the bushcraft, survival and outdoor enthusiast.

These outdoor guides and books can help you identify trees and wildlife species as well as offering advice on how to navigate the wilderness without a map or compass. Every book in our outdoor guides collection is on hand to help you whenever you may need it, by the fire in the evening or in the middle of the forest.

Outdoor guides are more than just reading material. They are to deepen your understanding and connection with nature. If you are identifying tree types or learning traditional outdoor skills, a good guide gives you the information you need right when you need it.

Our range includes guides that cover tracks and signs for bushwalks and wildlife watching. Guides like those covering butterflies or moths and plants allow you to recognise species across different seasons. This means you’ll build deeper respect for your surroundings. There are also guides for those who want to learn more about practical skills and bushcraft methods.

We stock handbooks that teach essential outdoor knowledge. These outdoor guides condense decades of practice into accessible instructions for all levels of wilderness explorers.

Our guides fit easily into your pack or rucksack and can be even kept in your vehicle’s glovebox should you need one. These compact books make them ideal companions when you’re on a brief walk or multi-day trip. Brush up on your bushcraft knowledge with a book that feeds your interests and carry these resources, learning all you need to know about Ray Mears and outdoor skills.
