Essential Bushcraft Tools


Essential Bushcraft Tools


A crooked awl is a great tool to carry if you are going on a camping trip or bushcrafting expedition. It will punch holes in leather or small pieces of wood, but an auger is required for more serious wood bores. It's made from high carbon steel and is sharp and strong enough to punch holes in a variety of materials. Besides punching holes, it also throws sparks and can be used as a fire starter when combined with flint and chert.

Knife

A knife is the perfect tool for bushcraft tasks. It is compact and durable and can be worn on a belt, body armor, or pack. A bushcraft knife performs the same tasks as an axe, but better. It can be used to build complex structures, strike ferro rods, and start fires. A bushcraft knife should be resharpened easily and is not prone to damage by harsh outdoor conditions.

Axe

Axes are among the most essential tools for bushcrafting. Its balance, weight, and solid sized profile make it a great tool to carry while hiking, camping, or any other outdoor activity. An axe is great for tackling tough limbs and splitting firewood. Its heavy-duty design also makes it easy to swing the axe head with ease. The axe head can wiggle if not properly secured, so keep this in mind when selecting an axe.

Compass

A compass is an indispensable outdoor tool, especially in hostile environments. Introduced centuries ago, a compass is useful for better orientation and navigating in a forest. Today's compass has undergone revolutionary changes. It is smaller and easier to use than ancient versions, and some modern models are more accurate than their predecessors. Hattila, for example, sells a folding transparent compass with a magnifying glass. Another popular model is the Lensatic compass.

Shovel

A shovel is a great tool for bushcraft. The right shovel is a critical part of any survival kit. These tools are extremely versatile and can be used in any situation. A shovel is also an essential bushcraft tool, and a folding one is extremely convenient. While they tend to be heavier and not as compact as traditional shovels, they are more versatile and can be used in any environment. They are also very affordable, making them affordable for even the most limited budget.

Tacticool

If you are planning on going camping or hiking, you will need some Tacticool bushcraft tools. The survival tools and accessories that you buy should be multi-purpose, and will serve many purposes. They can serve as a key ring, lure holder, or adjust your AR sight post. Some are even used as a bail handle for a hot pot. One of the tools you should buy is the metal pin, as stainless steel is a bad magnet and will rust if exposed to a magnet.
