Knowledge is power and one of my favorite sources of outdoor knowledge is the Boy Scout Fieldbook. First printed in 1944, there are at least 4 editions and with several revisions along the way. Since there are some pretty significant differences between the different editions, you might want to search for older ones on eBay or in used bookstores.
Here are some useful links:
