Hi all,
You can catch some of the Dick Proenneke series on Youtube, well worth a watch and handy as I think the dvd/video is hard to source.
My choice of books would be by Ray Mears: 'Essential Bushcraft' and 'The Outdoor Survival Handbook' Both cover similar ground but are still interesting to read. I often seem to have one or t'other at hand for perusal while commuting to and from work on the train.
As for a TV Series, don't bother just hunt about on Youtube, there's tons of great stuff to watch and learn on there for free. I (and many others) will recommend checking out a channel called 'MCQ Bushcraft', Mike puts together some great videos and he clearly know's his stuff.
