A must read: When Technology Fails, the only survivalist book that takes the premise that technology is not coming back...

Try to find books documenting the life of the Native American tribes who lived in your area before the Europeans arrived. These books will give you an idea of the feasiblity of hunting and gathering in your area.

An example for the SF Bay Area is the excellent The Ohlone Way, which gives a tremendous amount of useful data about survival in a preindustrial world.

I could have sworn there was a section on books, videos, and articles, etc in the closed
section of Camelot, so I guess I would just suggest one book.

The bible.
