How to Make a Scarecrow in Sons of the Forest
Luckily, unlike other structures that require you to chop down multiple trees or obtain hard-to-find items, the Scarecrow can be easily constructed using few materials. You only need 14 sticks and 4 tapes to build it. Sticks can be found on the ground throughout the forest. But if for some reason you can’t find them, you can cut down small trees. These will give you enough sticks to build the scarecrow. As for Duct Tape, it can be found as normal loot all over the map, but you should try to look for it inside crates. It is also available at the crash site where you first appear in-game.
Once you have the materials in your inventory, open your crafting book and switch modes. When the book is in your left hand, navigate through the utilities and find the scarecrow. Then place it where you want and get close to it. You can then start placing the sticks and tape by pressing the “E” key.
