Sons of the Forest is an intense survival game that pits you against harsh elements and hungry cannibals. As soon as you land on the island, you’ll need to get to work. Of course, you won’t be building a house right away, so the best thing to do is build a quick tent so you can rest at night when you get tired. This guide will show you how to craft a tent in Sons of the Forest.
How to make a tent in Sons of the Forest
The tent is the simplest shelter you can make, but it’s better to make it from scratch than to build a big house for you and all your companions. As soon as you wake up from the helicopter crash, you will be surrounded by various objects that have washed up on the shore. Get to work and start gathering all the necessary supplies. To craft a tent, you will need the following items:

The tarps are fairly easy to find. You should be able to salvage one of the helicopter wrecks. Otherwise, you can find them in various camps across the island. Sticks are also easy to find and litter the island wherever you see trees. Dig the ground or break small trees for sticks. Once you have both items, go to your inventory and equip the tarp. Look down and you will see an outline of the canvas. Press the left mouse button to place it.

With the tarp installed, go to the corner and look at it. You will see an arrow pointing up. Press the left mouse button again to use a stick to lift the corner of the tarp and make a tent. You can use only one pole to make the tent, but two are best so you can get that classic tent look. With a tent set up, you can hold E to save your game or hold Z to rest and refill your energy meter. Now you just need to light a fire to accompany it.
