How to stay warm in winter at Sons of the Forest
Get the winter jacket
Sons of the Forest has many outfits for your character that can be picked up from various locations. However, when winter comes, you must get the winter jacket. As the name suggests, the jacket is specially designed for harsh winter conditions as it can keep your character warm. To get it, you need to head southeast and find a camp near a lake. You can pick up the winter jacket from one of the red tents in this camp. To equip it, go to your inventory, which can be done by pressing the ‘I’ key.
build a torch
The flashlight is not only useful when exploring caves and tunnels where visibility is zero, but it can also be a great help during winters. When exploring with snow, it’s recommended to keep your torch handy at all times, as the fire coming out of it will keep your character warm. To build a torch, you need a stick and a rag. Then open your inventory, select both items and combine them using the gear icon. To light it, take out your lighter by pressing the ‘L’ key then hold the same key down.

Light a fire at several points
It will be wise to make a campfire in several places so that you can always approach one as soon as your character is cold. If you have an outdoor base, keep a hearth on each side. It’s not difficult; just break and throw a stick on the ground. You can then light the fire using your lighter.
