Basic bushcraft equipment includes the tools needed to build shelter, prepare food, as well as tools for working with wood and other materials found in the wild. The skills to use the equipment effectively and adapt to natural conditions are also important. In the bushcraft equipment category of the Sportano shop, you will find high-quality products from renowned manufacturers such as deuter, Ledlenser, LifeStraw, Outwell, Vango, Black Diamond or CamelBak. Bushcraft knives and toolsBushcraft knives and tools are an absolute staple for any outdoor enthusiast. In the world of bushcraft, the knife is regarded as the most important tool, essential for a number of tasks, from woodworking to food preparation to building a shelter. Choosing the right bushcraft knife is therefore crucial. The ideal knife should be durable, with a solid sharp blade and an ergonomic handle that provides comfort and safety in use. The blade material is often made of stainless steel or carbon steel, which are corrosion-resistant and easy to sharpen. The handle should be made of a weather-resistant material such as hardwood, composite or rubber, providing a secure grip even in difficult conditions. In addition to the knife, key bushcraft tools include hatchets and hand saws. The hatchet is indispensable for heavier work, such as chopping firewood or building a shelter. Its compact size makes it convenient to carry, yet effective enough for many situations. Hand saws are useful for cutting through larger branches and shaping wood. The lightweight and foldable saw models are easy to carry and allow you to work efficiently with minimal effort. Multitools are another important tool in the bushcrafter's arsenal. They allow a wide variety of tasks to be carried out, from bolting and cutting to piling and chiselling. Their versatility makes them invaluable in situations where a multi-functional tool that takes up little space is needed. Bushcraft camping: the art of wilderness survivalBushcraft camping is not only a challenge, but also the art of wilderness survival, requiring the right equipment and skills. Choosing the right camping equipment is crucial to ensure safety, comfort and efficiency while in the wild. Tent selection is one of the most important aspects of planning a camping trip. Bushcraft tents should be lightweight, yet robust and able to withstand a variety of weather conditions. Double-roofed models are preferred to provide better protection against rain and condensation. Many people who opt for bushcraft opt for smaller tarp tents, which are easy to transport and allow the shelter to be set up quickly. A sleeping bag is another key piece of camping equipment. It is important that it is suitable for the climatic conditions. Sleeping bags with synthetic or down fill offer different levels of insulation and are suitable for different temperatures. Camping mattresses, whether inflatable or self-inflating, provide additional insulation from the cold ground and increase sleeping comfort. Mosquito nets are essential in areas where insects are abundant. They provide protection from mosquitoes and other insects that can disturb sleep or transmit disease. Many tents already have mosquito nets built in, but separate nets that can be stretched over the sleeping area are also available. Accessory items such as head torches, hiking torches, multi-tools or compasses are also important in bushcraft. They allow you to function effectively in the field, from cooking and navigation to minor equipment repairs. Each piece of bushcraft equipment should be carefully selected with the specific expedition and natural conditions in mind. In bushcraft, it is important that equipment is functional and as light as possible, making it easier to transport and allowing for greater mobility. Kitchen equipment for the bushcrafter: from pots to hiking cookers Kitchen equipment is an indispensable part of bushcraft expeditions, allowing meals to be prepared in natural conditions. Choosing the right kitchen equipment depends on the style of bushcraft, the length of the expedition and personal preferences. Pots are the mainstay of kitchen equipment in bushcraft. It is important that they are durable and heat resistant. Pots made of stainless steel or aluminium are a popular choice due to their durability and light weight. Look out for pots with folding handles for easy packing and transportation. Dishes such as bowls or cups should also be lightweight and durable. Materials such as silicone, which can be folded, are practical and save space in your backpack. Multifunctional cutlery, such as pocket knives or multitools with kitchen functions, are invaluable in bushcraft. They allow you to perform a variety of tasks, such as slicing, peeling or opening cans, with a minimum of carry. Lightweight and collapsible cutlery, such as spoons, forks and knives, are easy to transport and do not take up much space. Hiking cookers are essential when a campfire is not possible or allowed. Gas cookers are popular for their ease of use and temperature control. Small, portable models are convenient to carry, but require carrying spare gas cartridges. Solid fuel cookers are an alternative, which can use materials available in nature, such as wood or leaves. Waterproof food containers are key for storing food and protecting it from moisture and animals. Containers made of durable materials, such as hard plastics, ensure food safety and are resistant to damage. Additional accessories such as cutting boards, filtered water bottles and thermoses can make life in the field much easier. Thermoses ensure that drinks stay warm, which is especially important in colder weather.
