Best Ways to Get Food in Sons of the Forest

Eating is a necessity that, thanks to the nature of this game, will exacerbate with the days that pass. Getting some supplies and finding food in the wild will be your best shot at survival.

And well, there are quite a decent amount of food sources in this game, you will want to know where to look first. And yes, we will tell you exactly where to look.

Firstly, like many other items and resources, you will find some food caches around the shoreline, just near your spawn point. You can also go ahead and venture into the forest and pick up some edible plants, such as berries. Nothing wrong about some natural sources of food, right? And speaking of natural, you can also go ahead and hunt some of the local wildlife that roam the island.
