That's a fairly open-ended question, and I'm not sure how to answer. One version or another of the "SAS Survival Handbook" has been in my library for a couple of decades, which seems to offer a good overall framework.
It's open-ended because it's an area that I don't know much about. When I thought about how a person could end up dead from camping, the first thing I imagined was twisting an ankle after a stumble a steep hill, and not being able to get back to civilization. Add more trouble, and I imagine a fall down a steep hill, maybe with a concussion. (Yes, I have issues about falling.) However, I don't know if those are the biggest risks.
Possibly of interest: Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why.
I currently have "http://www.amazon.ca/The-Unthinkable-Survives-Disaster-Strikes/dp/0307352900" http://www.amazon.ca/The-Unthinkable-Survives-Disaster-Strikes/dp/0307352900 in my to-read pile, and that looks like a good companion piece.
