The Practical Survival series by Tony Nester is a collection of guides covering outdoor survival, bushcraft, and disaster preparedness. Drawing on Nester’s decades of experience as a survival instructor and his work with military special operations, the books offer practical, tested advice rather than theoretical scenarios.
The series begins with Practical Survival Tips, Tricks, & Skills (2001) and has expanded over two decades to cover desert survival, modern hunter-gatherer techniques, grid-down scenarios, bushcraft tools, and knife-only survival. Each book focuses on a specific area of preparedness, making the series useful both as individual guides and as a comprehensive survival library.
