Sons of the Forest: How To Cut Down Trees Faster | Modern Axe Location Guide

gameranx.com:

You’ll be doing a lot of log cutting in Sons of the Forest. Logs are required to build almost everything in your camp — cabins, walls, floors for treehouses, and defensive gates to protect you from the creatures lurking outside. Cutting down logs is an essential task, and there’s a way to cut down trees faster. Your starting survival axe is pretty good when it comes to felling trees, but you can get something better right at the start of the game. The Modern Axe isn’t just more powerful against enemies, it’s also straight-up better at cutting down trees.

There’s another way to boost your log collecting. You can ask your NPC companion Kelvin to cut down trees and bring the logs to your worksite. This is honestly one of the best ways to collect logs without cutting down trees yourself — but you’ll still want the Modern Axe. If you’re working with Kelvin, you can exponentially increase the number of logs you’re both collecting. Unfortunately, Kelvin can only carry one log at a time. He’s pretty slow. You can carry two once your strength meter increases a little bit.

The Modern Axe is an improved Axe you can acquire right at the start of the game. It is located at a small military camp — you can travel there on Day 1 and retrieve the Axe.
