Tools to Survive

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to make the tools needed to survive.  Over the span of a short rest you can craft yourself a knife of flint.  This can be used as a dagger (with either piercing or slashing damage) but breaks on a natural 1 on an attack roll.  This knife is your spellcasting focus for all of your Survivalist abilities.
