If I were concerned about space, my must haves would read like a bigger bug-out bag:
A good, fixed blade knife. I believe that is essential for everyone.
Way to start a fire, with a backup system. I wouldn't buy a camp stove because I don't think I would use it after I got settled. I would cook over a fire, which leads to the next item.
A good cast iron pan.
Water filter.
Head lamp. I don't know how I ever lived without mine.
Silky pruning saw. An axe, or if space is really limited, a good hatchet.
Solar is easy if you just want to set up one panel and a battery for charging phones and the like. Youtube is your friend :)
There are quite a few good threads about essential tools here at permies. It's such a huge subject and so individual, that it's hard to answer a question like this. I think what will happen is that you will discover what you need, for your circumstances, when you need something and you don't have it. That isn't a bad way to discover exactly what you need for your situation.
