   I have a book I bought years ago titled "How To Survive On Land & Sea" 
which is really pretty thorough. It is prepared and printed by the United 
States Navel Institute as a manual for survival techniques for combat naval 
pilots. I particularly like the part where they describe how to fish using 
hand grenades :-) But there really is a ton of very useful information in it 
as well.
