I suppose it's not massively bushcrafty but sort of related, but shotguns! The basic boxlock or sidelock action hasn't changed drastically for a very long time, I have friends that still use guns made in the late 19th Century!

army poncho, after getting soaked through on a weeklong bushcraft course, wearing my expensive gore tex jacket i swore i'd never mothball my dads old army kit again. wellys (for irish summers), canvas backpacks, I hate those cordura things, but needs must I suppose. My Dad reckons mess tins are key bits of kit, used as a cup, plate and wash basin.(not all at once though)

I make my 10 year old Godson carry a whistle every time we're in the woods.

Do you find muck boots as good as wellies? They've always let me down before. Either not comfy enough, or just that little shorter than the bog you just stood in
