This guy is a long time, close friend. The real deal. I have worked with him training various spec-ops and gov't alphabet agencies in real world, shit-hits-the-fan scenarios. Will def take you out of your comfort zone, make you think and reveal the chinks in your personal armor...that's what it's all about, right?
If you prefer the more laid back approach and are interested in discovering your more primal self.
pastskills.com
Another good friend and respected mentor. Native American skills and philosophy at their finest...Good luck in your journey!

Thank you all for the advise! I unfortunately am not able to buy any books at the moment (I'm moving soon) but I will definitely be following your suggestions!

I write a fictional survival blog that includes survival and preparedness tips and ideas as well as a fairly entertaining (I've been told) story.
The setting is the Midwest, beginning in November of 2014, following a global economic crash.
No cost or obligation. Sign up with your e-mail address if you want to be notified when I post a new chapter. No SPAM, I promise.
Here's the link to the main page: http://unioncreekjournal.wordpress.com/
The journal entries are in reverse chronological order. I highly recommend that you read the first entry (November 2, 2014) first and then the following entries in chronological order.
Here's a link to the first entry: http://unioncreekjournal.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/the-new-normal-no...
Enjoy!

Lots of good sources already listed.
Just remember that on a long enough time line the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

wilderness survival, a passion that started while involved w/ my son's boy scout troop that has progressed to (according to my wife) near obsession. Acquiring ideas and tricks from forums or fellow campies, I'll test them in the field for practicality. Recently, I've logged countless hours and blisters perfecting my fire by friction skills using only the hand drill method and what materials work best in my area.

I'm a big fan of Dave Canterbury's Pathfinder school. He has many videos demonstrating gear, techniques, kits, and lots of other stuff.
Check out Bushcraft books by Ray Mears, Richard Graves, and Mors L. Kochanski. All great books about skills that will not only help you survive but allow you to live quite comfortably in wilderness environments.

Jay Moore posted a discussionDealing with an ex post break up
Gentlemen,Girlfriend of 3 1/2 years broke up with me 2 months ago today. Long story short, she met someone else, said she had to be honest with her feelings for me, broke up with me. I know in the beginning she was hoping that her feelings for me would come back, but a after a week of no contact, she told me she thought she made the right decision. She tried to end it on good terms, told her I taught her everything she knows about relationships blah blah blah. I was polite to her at first,…See More
Paul_of_TX replied to LShieldes's discussion Run fat boy run"I have to disagree. Those shorts are crucial to Shieldes success. When wearing those you really feel the urge to push yourself and get rid of the extra you. Don't listen to her. This is a big man website and she is just a girl."
