First things first PPPP, join a clay pigeon shooting club, get the feel for a shotgun, learn how to fire it, how to maintain it, you will more than likely meet members who hunt and most are happy to take newbies out for bunny shoots etc.

Look at the various UK Bushcraft forums and join up, they often hold weekend camps and welcome newcomers plus you get hands on experience.

If you can get books by Ray Mears or Mors Kochanski then get them and read, both full men are full of knowledge.

There are a few videos by Mors on youtube but there is a LOT of videos by Ray...watch them all...that said, Ray Mears is IMHO the best bushcraft instructor out there (MB, watch some of Rays videos too).

MB, reading books and taking courses is not a bad introduction to bushcraft/survival and prepping...its a start. There are thousands of yank preppers putting up videos, selling courses et al...how many of them are good?
