Where To Find & Use Firewood In Sons Of The Forest

Obtaining Firewood is pretty straightforward in Sons of the Forest, and it shouldn’t be too complicated for players to accomplish. You can refer to your Guide Book, which you should have received by opening the Emergency Pack, as it details how to chop the Wooden Logs into Firewood. Despite this, many players still wonder where to find Firewood in Sons of the Forest. This vital resource can be the difference between surviving the night or dying from extreme cold weather. But fret not. This guide explains how to get and use Firewood in Sons of the Forest.

To start gathering Firewood in Sons of the Forest, you'll need to locate a tree and equip an Axe. If you're in the game's early stages, you likely have the Tactical Axe, which you would have received from your Emergency Pack. Once you find a tree, interact with it to chop it down. It will fall to the ground, transforming into Wooden Logs.

Next, use your Axe again to chop the logs into smaller sections. To make the pieces even in size, use the red cursor to help guide your cuts. Repeat this process until you have a pile of Firewood. It's worth noting that Firewood in Sons of the Forest can be used for more than just keeping you warm. You can use it for cooking food, crafting items, and building structures. Make sure to gather enough Firewood to meet your needs.

Now that you have chopped trees down and amassed a pile of Firewood, you can use it to feed the Reinforced Fire near your shelter. As stated in our previous guide, you'll need to gather 1x Stick and 8x Rocks to build it. Next, take a couple of pieces of Firewood and interact with Reinforced Fire to break the Firewood in half.

In addition to making it more durable, the Fire will keep burning for a long time and keep you warm when the cold weather hits. Additionally, you can use the Reinforced Fire to cook food using the raw meat you have acquired from animals and fish and scare away potential threats that may fear the Fire.
