In Sons of the Forest, you can’t just open the menu to save your game whenever you like. Furthermore, the game has no auto-save feature. After all, what kind of a survival game would it be if it had one? Instead, you need to manually save your game every time you make a little progress. Thankfully, making process isn’t difficult — you just need to know what to build.

To save your game, you first need to build a shelter. For this, you need one trap and two sticks. The trap can be found in the crates that are scattered around the area where you start the game. If you forgot to loot them in the first place, don’t worry, as you can go back there. While looting them, you will pick up the trap. As for the sticks, you can find them on the ground throughout the forest. Alternatively, you can use the Axe from your inventory to chop small trees and pick up sticks from them.
