Can anyone recommend a good book (paperback) on preparing and eating animals (rabbits, squirrels, fish, birds) in the wild (not kitchen)?
Gill define what you want to know - cookery in the field is little different from cookery at home and most manuals cover the basics of cook fires. Infact some of the early articles I wrote for BCUK cover just such a subject so you might wanna check them out first.
If you can be more specific I might have an idea.
B lucky.

What i mean is..if i am out camping/bushcrafting and I catch a rabbit, how do i prepare it (skinning, etc) and how to cook (time, recommendations) over a camp fire/camp stove
Most manuals cover it mate - skinning ect is much of a muchness.
Cooking - check out the article I wrote on here which covers most aspects of cook fires including temperature guides recipes and other useful bits.
I dont know the link but I am sure one nice Moderator will let you know.
Any questions just ask.

I think it's about analyzing the situation. What animal you've got and which methods of preparing you've got. :wink: In a survival situation, cooking is far the best, cause the fat is saved. It will float on top of the water in the pot. Eat the fat also. If you roast the damn thing, you won't utilize all vitamins, etc. in the animal. :-)
But analyze what you've got and which options there is for cooking. :wink: :pack:
