The Night Rider

I'm aware there's four books in the picture.
Really the best one is the second book in the picture Survival In The Outdoors by Byron Dalrymple. He was born in 1910 and died in 1994.
Most of the book is about preparing yourself before you go out in the woods so you don't need to build fish traps to keep from starving.
He talks a lot about observing your surroundings and knowing what you're getting into.
Survival With Style Bradford Angier
Bradford Angier (May 13, 1910 – March 3, 1997) was basically an Earth Gypsy.
He was living in Boston Massachusetts and he decided to use move to a small town in Northwest British Columbia and bought an old prospector's cabin and a bunch of how-to books and rebuilt it and basically lived as a homesteader for 40(ish) years.
Finding Your Way In The Outdoors Robert L. Mooers.
I can't find a whole lot of information on Robert L Mooers Jr.
The book covers basic compass, basic map reading, route finding, understanding weather signs and a few other topics. I learned Land Navigation from that book better than I did from this
The last book The Outdoorsman's handbook by Clyde Ormond is just that. It tells you how to bed a rifle barrel in a new stock. How to gut a deer, how to clean a fish. With some real basic Bushcraft and survival skills
. Hank Jr. kinda summed it up “a country boy can survive”. Every year people get in trouble in the sticks who have NO clue of what to do. Don’t have ANY basic survival gear, knowledge or experience and then can’t figure out why bad things happen. If a person is going off the paved road or city park walking trail you need SOMe idea of what you’re doing. Nature doesn’t suffer fools.
