If you’re wondering how to save in Sons of the Forest, look no further! We’ll be going through how you can save and at what points, and finally where you can save the game.
But you can’t just go to the menu and click save. First, you need to do a quick bit of building by creating a shelter. Don’t worry, it’s easy.

How to build a shelter in Sons of the Forest
You’ll need the following to build a shelter:
You’ll find the tarp scavenging the containers at the helicopter crash site at the beginning of the game. Pick it up and start searching for a stick on the ground. You should see plenty of them once you’ve left the snowy starter area and descended to a lower altitude.

Now onto building, here’s a step by step guide for you to follow:
- Open your inventory by tapping the I key
- Select or equip the tarp which will be stored in the upper right-hand corner of your inventory screen
- Tarp in hand, look at the ground in front of you
- You’ll see the outline of a square, which you can rotate with the Q and R
- If you’ve found your spot, left-click and you’ll place the tarp on the ground
- Move close and look at one corner of the tarp until you see a white, dotted-line arrow pointing up. Left-click again.
- As long as one stick is in your inventory, you’ll see yourself prop up that corner of the tarp with the stick
- You’ve built a shelter, well done!
Now when you move close to the shelter, you’ll see two prompts, one to save your game (hold E) and one to sleep (hold Z). You can also prop up the rest of the corners of the shelter by using more sticks, but it’s not required.
