Introduction to British bushcraft needed

[aman]

Hi All
I like the idea of bushcraft but I am rubbish at actually getting out there and getting stuck in.

I go out into the woods but then I am overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge I don't have.

A lot of book seem to be American or worldwide. I need something that is applicable to the UK.

So what would be a really good introduction to UK Bushcraft?

I think if you went to a couple of meetings thats a good way to start as people will normally give you tips and advice And there is loads of them on just take a look around the Cornwall guys do a lot I hope this helps

Wilderness Survival Guide by Joe O'Leary is another good one.

"Bushcraft" by Mors Kochanski - not British, but imho. the best book on bushcraft ever written!

Don't try and do too much too soon and end up getting frustrated, just enjoy the oudoors and learn the basics first.
