To stay alive in Sons of the Forest, you’ll need a constant supply of food and water. Water is a plentiful resource — you can find fresh water from any stream or running water, but food can be trickier. While the abandoned camps, caves and underground areas of the island have plentiful dry food for you to collect, you’ll still run out if you don’t explore often. The more you explore, the more you put yourself in danger. If you’re looking to help alleviate some of your food concerns, you can unlock additional food sources through traps, hunting, cooking — or just getting a can opener.
