almost anything by Edward Abbey (just finished reading Beyond the Wall)
Desert Solitaire by him is a classic.
A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold is another comfy book, not so much about living in the wilderness as observing it.

Algernon Blackwood has a few stories that take place in the woods/wilderness. I've only read The Wendigo and The Willows; they were enjoyable for a quick read.
