To get any real base construction going, or even simply a good night's sleep in Sons Of The Forest, it is wise to build traps to keep the tribes of curious and roving cannibals at bay. Most traps can be crafted via the Improvised Survival Structures Handbook, provided to the player in the emergency pack at the start of the game. Others require survival ingenuity to pull off and some knowledge of the behavior patterns of the many creatures in Sons Of The Forest.
