Not really a book person mate. However am slowly getting through one of Ray Mears books at the moment. The one that follows the tv series... I plan on learning about wild plants (edibles) in the near future so that’s my next book :thumbsup:

I'll look at those links on the of later, got a bit of reading to do of 2 Ray Mears books I recently got, and I've just bought a copy of Snow Walkers Companion which will take a while to get here from the States.

Look at getting "food for free" by Colins (and available in the pocket size Collins Gem series.) It is probably the best basic primer for edible plants in the UK.

A journal is also extremely useful from a prepper perspective for making a note of where and when you find resources, either natural or man made. Addresses (map references) of warehouses or fuel stores as much as where the blaeberries are growing or where the blackberries are fruiting latest.

I have a couple of the ones you have linked to & I think the Kochanski one is the next one I will get.

I do like the look of these though
