Survival and Bushcraft Books and PDFs from Joshua Enyart
Every book and PDF in this collection is written by Special Forces veteran and survival instructor Joshua Enyart and published by Gray Bearded Green Beret. These are not curated links to third-party Amazon titles — they are GB2's own instructional library: field manuals, reference guides, and complete training bundles built from the same curriculum framework Joshua teaches at live events across the US.
The Wilderness Survival PDF Series — 13 Parts
The Wilderness Survival PDF Series covers the full spectrum of field-applicable survival skills, one subject per part: survival gear and kits, principles of survival, fire craft, essential knots, survival shelters, water procurement, trapping, edible and medicinal plants, wilderness medical skills, basic map reading, land navigation, emergency signals, and survival knives and tools. Each part stands alone as a reference on its subject. The Complete Bundle (Parts One through Thirteen) packages the full series for students who want the entire curriculum at once. The series is organized around the same 8 Survival Priorities framework that anchors every GB2 live course.
The Master Navigator PDF Series — 8 Parts
The Master Navigator PDF Series is the companion curriculum for GB2's land navigation instruction: map reading and navigation kit overview (Part One), map anatomy and topographic reading (Part Two), elevation and relief (Part Three), grid reference systems (Part Four), and subsequent parts covering declination, pace counting, route planning, and field navigation execution. These PDFs are the pre-study and field reference material for the Master Navigator Course. Students who work through the series before attending the live course consistently outperform students who show up without the background reading.
Surviving the Wild — The Hardcover Book
Surviving the Wild by Joshua Enyart, published by Mango Publishing, is the hardcover print edition of the core GB2 survival curriculum. If you want something that lives on a bookshelf, gets loaned to family members, and does not require a device to read, this is it. It covers the same foundational survival priorities as the PDF series in a format built for shelf life and casual reference.
How This Library Connects to the Live Courses
The PDF series and the live courses are built from the same curriculum. The PDFs give you the knowledge framework; the live courses give you the hands-on practice. Browse the Gray Bearded Green Beret live training events to see what is scheduled, or start with the PDF series to build your baseline before you show up to a course.
