A native guide to eatable plant life (with pictures)and ways of presurving meat is a good idea to. another thing to keep in mined is not to build your fire too big and be careful of what you burn, a tower of smoke 200 feet in the air is a good way to draw attention to yourself. Ive found that native american indain survival books and online books on indians, everything in them is useful info. Try looking up the life styles of the indian tribes from your area, you might be suprised not every indian lived in a ti pi, that was the plains indian mostly. Ther are some good shelters in ther. http://www.3k88.com/arts_crafts_skills.htm
