SAS handbook, "Food for Free", or anything by John Seymour.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Everyones situation is different but the one book that remains consistent across all scenarios is a First Aid book.

Nice sensible post
A major part of survival is invisibility.

I think this largely depends on your starting skill set.

If you are able to make sufficient shelters and fire, but then know about boiling water, I'd go with Foraging. Brilliant book kept in my BOB.

For Bushcraft, I'd say Ray Mears has an awesome big thick book. It's heavy, but you could always buy 2 copies, then cut off the parts that you'll need from one book, then shelf the other.

If you're a skilled medic, I'd opt for the Ray Mears stuff.

Personally, for a total beginner, I'd go with a North Western based survival guide, like Survival Advantage. Brilliant book!!!
Should be more specific, North Western Europe based guide for UK survival.

Survival-Advantage-Techniques-North-West-Environment

Put that into Amazon and you'll find the book I'm on about. Truly stunning.
