Introduction
Camping isn’t just about setting up a tent and relaxing, it’s about being prepared for the outdoors. That’s where bushcraft tools come in, the essential items that allow you to build, repair, and survive in the wild.
Here are the must-have bushcraft tools for Australian campers, and why Bush Tracks products make the difference.
1. Axe or Hatchet
Perfect for chopping firewood, clearing branches, and emergency shelter building. Compact camp axes fit neatly into a pack without adding bulk.
2. Folding Saw
Lightweight, efficient, and safer than swinging an axe in tight spaces. Great for cutting branches, stakes, and poles.
3. Multi-Purpose Knife
From food prep to rope cutting, a sharp knife is indispensable. Always keep it sharpened with a Bush Tracks knife and axe sharpener.
4. Rope & Tie Downs
No bushcraft kit is complete without rope. Use it for:
-
Shelter building
-
Clotheslines
-
Gear repairs
-
Emergency restraints
Bush Tracks rope ratchet tie downs make tensioning easy.
5. Sharpening Tools
A dull blade is dangerous. Carry a multi-sharpener that works on knives, axes, and saws.
6. Fire Starting Gear
-
Waterproof matches
-
Ferro rods or lighters
-
Kindling stored in a dry pouch
7. Tarp or Groundsheet
Lightweight, versatile, and essential for quick shelters. Bush Tracks PVC ground sheets also double as rain covers and mats.
8. First Aid and Safety Tools
Even bushcraft experts prepare for accidents:
-
First aid kit
-
Torch or headlamp
-
Whistle for emergencies
Conclusion
Bushcraft isn’t just for survivalists, it’s about self-reliance and safety. With the right tools, axe, saw, ropes, and sharpeners, you’ll be ready for anything the bush throws at you.
