Simple or complex?
A bushcrafter’s kit can be as simple or as complex as you’d like to make it, but the foundation of every bushcraft kit is a bushcraft knife.
Many uses
Generally, a bushcraft knife is a fixed blade knife which is stored in a sheath and carried on the belt or in a pack. Having said that, a number of fine folding blade bushcraft knives are gaining popularity. The blade should be sturdy enough to allow you to split wood, and be sharp enough to shave tinder for your fire. A square-edged spine on a carbon steel knife will allow you to easily produce sparks from your firesteel.
Importantly, the knife should be easily cleanable, so that you can use it for food preparation, with a handle that is extremely comfortable for sustained use.
