Hi from Derby UK.

[NewbieDerby]

My name is Raj, and I am from 43 from Derby. I decided to join the BushcraftUK forums because, I was looking to learn bush crafting skills, and maybe find local people to learn from. I haven't had much experience beside doing simple task such as like fixing a wall fence, digging, odd jobs etc.
I am looking to learn how to build a campfire using basic tools and without tools. I'd like to learn to build basic shelters, mud bricks, kiln, wood shelters, fishing and anything else when it comes to survival, foraging and building. I've been watching so much bush crafting YouTube videos but I really need to learn by doing. I tried looking for local places but the closest place is hard to get to if you don't drive and its just 1 day courses. I'm open to volunteering for a position if I can learn these skills. If anyone has any information, recommendations or anyway they could help, I would be much appreciated. Thank you and nice to meet you all.

Hello, Raj, welcome.

Can't help you in Derby (if Rolls Royce hadn't gone bust in the 70s I might have been born and raised in Derby, but it did so I wasn't!) but hopefully a little bumpet might.
