What tools are needed for bushcraft?


When we’re running our courses we talk about what tools are need for bushcraft, what to look out for and generally offer up a few pointers to set people in the right direction.  In this video I describe my thoughts on what tools are needed for bushcraft as well as suggesting the order in which you should buy them.

I’ve also included a few thoughts related to the potential cost of bushcraft, a subject I wrote about a while ago in this post entitled ‘Is bushcraft an expensive hobby?‘.

I wrote this post a little over 6 years ago that goes over not just the basic tools discussed in this video, but also a few more specialist tools used for tasks such as carving; it ties in well with the video.

We discuss what tools are needed for bushcraft on our 1 Day Bushcraft Course, our as well as on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses, the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course and also our 2 Day & 5 Day Survival Courses.

You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
