New to the forum and just wanted to say hello!

Have lived in the countryside all of my life but have never really picked up or been taught any bushcraft skills. I enjoy the outdoors anyway and am a keen amateur photographer. Hoping to learn some basic stuff I can try out in my garden and local area before venturing out on a proper outdoor adventure! Have basic whittling skills and know my way around knives, as I'm somewhat of a collector of blades. Would be good to connect with some local people etc too.
