Bushcraft Maintenance Kit Checklist
The bushcraft work never stops so I make sure that I am prepared for anything.
Operating a wilderness skills school requires more than just furthering your knowledge around skills. It requires maintenance of the school property.
This is the part of operating a school many people do not think about. From weed whacking and mowing parking areas, to classroom and campsite maintenance, to firewood prep, there is much to do.
I must say though, I do enjoy doing all of it. When I am out on the property doing this maintenance I carry a bag full of equipment with me. This bag of equipment goes with me for all my tasks just in case I need something in a pinch.
When I took a look the items inside I realized how my love for bushcraft inspired this kit.
Lets take a look!
Pack: Frost River Summit Pack. This pack is a single compartment waxed canvas bag that fits all of my gear plus lots of room for extra equipment. View our bushcraft packs
Canvas Pouch: Frost River Large Accessory Bag
Leather Pouch: Waterproof Tinder Bag. This pouch is waterproof for tinder but in this case I carry an assortment of wire, nails, and needles
Cordage: Tarred Nylon Twine #36 and #12. This cordage binds well against itself and is very weather resistant
Axe: Russian Trappers Hatchet. Vintage Axe that is great for all around utility work
Multi-Tool: Gerber. I actually found this multi-tool. It works well for what I use it for. I don’t get caught up with all the accessories, as long as it has pliers, file, and awl its good for me
Knife: Battle Horse Tree Frog. The only folding knife made by BHK: great for utility work, cutting strap, cordage, etc
Pencil: Found in a drawer of my shop. Always useful for marking and writing
Water Bottle: 40oz Klean Kanteen. Stay hydrated
Gloves: Hestra Skullman. These gloves carry a heavy price but are high quality and fit properly making working with cordage and knives much easier than box store 1 size fits all gloves
Saw: Bacho Laplander. This saw seems to be the best quality for the money. It cuts great and the blade stays sharp
