Sailing Boat

• Edit source

A deserted boat which seems to be owned by an unfortunate visitor to the island who was captured by the mutants .

The Location of the Sailing Boat

Location [ ]

The sailing boat is located in the southern part of the island. It is east of the great tree. One can find it easily by heading away from the snowy mountains in the north or by walking along the shore line. Keep an eye out for sharks that are located beyond the sail boat. (V.32) There is a door on the interior that can only be opened by an end-game key card.                      

Notable Survival Gear [ ]

• As of version 0.02 a flare gun can be found under the boat with infinite ammo by pushing the character towards the edge of the boat and trying to dive underwater. As of version 0.03 the gun was transferred to the edge of the boat
• A cassette player  which can be used to restore your energy. it plays some great tunes to you can find a cassette here to
• A picture of a Gorgon can be found in the notebook.
• Other various pictures, including one of a child 's drawings

As a Starter Base [ ]

The sailboat is a good starting location since it can be used to get away from cannibals and most mutants because of their fear of water. Suitcases tend to wash up along the beach, providing some resources, along with turtles which can be used for water catches and food. However, after around day ten the boat is no longer safe due to mutants that can swim. Be warned, though: in this area, cannibals and mutants spawn in greater numbers, and they tend to be more hostile towards the player as time goes on.

Elden Ring Player Makes Neat Inventory Discovery After 1200 Hours Of Playing

Ingenious fallout 4 build makes sure the sole survivor will never run out of ammo, ea sports college football 25’s hardest stadiums to play in don’t make sense.

Surviving in the world of The Forest is by no means an easy feat. Players are tasked with keeping themselves alive after crash landing in an unknown and dangerous location, proving difficult when it comes to finding shelter, water, and food. What's more, there are a host of cannibals and mutants hiding deep inside the forest and caves here, biding their time to kidnap and kill the player.

One unique feature about The Forest is that as the in-game days progress, enemies will appear more frequently, attempting to attack you. The first in-game week is the safest period for players on the surface level , so ensure to use this time to your advantage and acquire as many supplies as possible. Once you have erected a small and humble camp and crafted some basic weapons and armor, set out to explore these areas as thoroughly as possible.

9 Collect Items At The Crash Site

Resources are key to survival.

One of the most resource-rich areas of the game is the starting location. Upon waking up from the plane crash, you will find that everyone's luggage has been spread out around the vicinity. These suitcases can be cracked open to collect alcohol, snacks, cloth, duct tape, Med Caps , and other important resources that you may be unable to craft on your own at the time. Collecting these items will allow you to learn new recipes , elevating your survival.

In the early stages of the game, snacks and soda are essential to prevent you from starving , as they work to set up more reliable ways to obtain food and water. Keep in mind that spawn point become highly dangerous, so you shouldn't spend a lot of time here unless you are prepared to fight.

8 Visit The Main Cannibal Village

Pillage & loot.

When exploring the surface level of the world, you will eventually come across various cannibal villages. These campsites are home to vicious cannibals and typically contain all kinds of different resources and items . The Main Cannibal Village is the largest construction, found in the southeast area, from the center of the map.

In this area, you will find suitcases full of essential items in The Forest , like cloth, snacks, duct tape, rope, fuel cans, dynamite, and flares that are hard to find anywhere else on the surface. This is by far the best location in the game to raid for resources, but you will need to keep an eye out for any enemies nearby.

7 Swim To The Abandoned Yacht

Well worth your time.

If players want to complete The Forest 's main storyline, it is essential to check out the yacht later on in the game, in the bottom center of the map . Exploring it in the early stages will also grant you an array of valuable items and resources. The most useful among these are several ropes, utilized in many crafting recipes, and the Cassette Player.

The Cassette Player is useful as it offers insights into background information on the mysterious events on the formidable island , and additionally helps regenerate your sanity levels. This is also a great area to make the best base possible , situated in the water away from the shoreline, keeping cannibals and other enemies at bay.

6 Explore The Hanging Cave

Early-game items & weapons.

This is the first cave that players will want to explore in The Forest . While this is accessible near the starting area of the game, it is recommended to advance your combat efficiency and equip yourself with weapons and armor before returning , to survive against the threats within. The Hanging Cave's main entrance is in the middle of the Main Cannibal Village, making it easily accessible.

If the player dies on the surface, they will be kidnapped and dragged to this cave by Cannibals. You will have to try to sneak out or fight your way through to escape, but make sure you pick up your items before attempting your breakout.

Upon entering, you will find a wealth of resources within, especially since there are passenger corpses and suitcases spread throughout the cave. If you do a thorough search and look hard enough, you will come across a hidden room that contains several items that add to the story narrative, as well as a compass, explosives, arrows, and even the best axe in the game, the Modern Axe.

5 Loot The Film Crew Campsite

Bad luck for them, good fortune for you.

One of the few non-cannibal campsites that you will find in The Forest is one that once belonged to the film crew for a TV show. Situated near Geese Lake in the mid-west region of the map , those that once camped here either fled or perished, with the latter most likely due to the number of corpses nearby.

A metal pot can be found here, which is used to boil contaminated water or make stews . This is also one of the best locations in the game to farm flares and modern arrows, so it is recommended to explore this area whenever possible.

4 Explore The Dead Cave

Dangerous, but worth it.

The Dead Cave is one of the most dangerous caves in the game, especially if you are still progressing in the early stages. One should not explore the entirety of the cave unless they are well-armed, but there is an area that is safe enough to venture through , containing few enemies, and grants access to one of The Forest 's best weapons for survival .

There are two aggressive Armsies, a type of creepy-mutant lurking around the Dead Cave. These enemies are strong and don't go down easily, so proceed with caution.

In the Northwest of the center of the Peninsula, the main entrance to this cave is southeast of the massive sinkhole. Upon entering, make an immediate left to avoid encountering enemies, until you find yourself in a room containing several corpses. Here, you will find plenty of great resources, meds, and the formidable Katana sword that will slice through enemies upon swinging.

Upon progressing further into the more dangerous parts of the cave, you will find a Chainsaw, the best tool to speed up cutting down trees and removing tree stumps. Without requiring stamina, it makes a great melee weapon against enemies.

3 Explore The Submerged Cave

Get the rebreather.

The final cave to explore early in the game is the elusive Submerged Cave. The majority of this cave is underwater, but players can acquire the Rebreather here, allowing you to breathe underwater for longer periods.

Entering the underwater entrance without the Rebreather will likely lead to death. Ensure to get hold of this item first, before exploring the rest of the cave and some of the other caves, as many of them have underwater portions to dive into.

To find the entrance to the Rebreather Cave, head to the southwest portion of the map . It is fairly easy to check it out within the first couple of in-game days, and luckily, there aren't too many enemies inside, so you needn't worry about coming well-armed.

2 Explore the Chasm Cave

Much needed weapons.

The Chasm Cave is located beyond the northernmost land bridge linking the peninsula to the mountains. It is recommended to visit this cave only after securing essential resources, as it presents the greatest challenge in The Forest . Its difficulty arises from its length, intricate layout, and the complex navigation required.

The cave is home to a daunting array of enemies, including six Creepy Mutants and approximately 23 Cannibals lurking in its depths.

The Outer Middle Show provides a comprehensive visual walkthrough of the Chasm Cave, and details how to find one of the best weapons in The Forest . The value of the items found within this cave, including the Modern Bow , match its difficulty, making it a tough but highly rewarding endeavor. Ensure you are fully equipped with top-notch weaponry and armor, and bring all essential survival items before entering.

1 Hunt For Survival Resources

Prep for the future.

Lastly, players should start hunting as soon as possible as it will provide them with vital resources that can save their lives and help craft equipment in The Forest . You can hunt turtles on various beaches for their shells, giving you a vessel for drinking water. Similarly, fishing and hunting other animals will provide access to meat, hide, and other resources that will help you survive crucially at the start of the game.

Authorities arrest 13 on private yacht for allegedly sparking devastating forest fire: 'We are outraged'

People continue to launch fireworks near highly flammable areas year after year — with disastrous results. And now, one group of firework-happy individuals on a private yacht in Greece are learning their lesson the hard way.

In June, 13 crew and seven passengers on a privately chartered yacht set off unauthorized fireworks from their ship. As far as officials can tell, the pyrotechnics then sparked a major forest fire on the island of Hydra, according to CNN .

"We are outraged," Hydra Mayor George Koukoudakis said on state TV, per CNN. "If it's true, it is something that really saddens me."

The Maritime Executive reported that the fire burned through 3,000 acres of pine forest, requiring six aircraft and two firefighting teams during a time when the teams were already needed elsewhere. Greece had issued an extreme fire risk warning and a burn ban, which the passengers and crew ignored.

After another ship reported seeing the fireworks launch from the yacht, authorities met the passengers and crew at an Athens marina. There, they arrested the 13 crew members; however, all of the passengers quietly returned home the following morning, per the Maritime Executive.

Reckless deployment of fireworks is frustratingly common, even though the fire risk is well-documented. Each year in the U.S., nearly twice as many wildfires are reported on July 4 as on any other day, PBS reports.

And fireworks aren't the only threat — wildfires have been sparked by everything from illegal camping fires to gender reveal parties. Worse, these human-created fires burn more than twice as fast as naturally occurring wildfires, according to research by the American Geophysical Union, as reported by Science.org .

Wildfires — and their corresponding intense temperatures, air pollution, and lingering destruction — have also been linked to negative health impacts. These include decreased mental health outcomes, pregnancy complications, higher risks of heart and lung issues, threats to biodiversity , and more.

If the Greek yacht's crewmembers are convicted of arson, the Maritime Executive reports, they "could face serious penalties, including as much as 20 years of prison time." Hopefully their case deters the next group of would-be firestarters, and encourages a pyrotechnic-free vacation instead.

[Top 10] The Forest Base Locations and Why They're Good

Base locations in The Forest can either make or break a playthrough in some cases. If you pick the wrong area, you could be bombarded by constant raids by cannibals and mutants! Having to frequently fix walls and buildings, and reset traps then takes away from you being able to enjoy the other aspects of the game: Exploring the caves, exploring the island, hunting, and even learning the story if you want! Of course, if you like defending your livelihood from bad guys and aren’t bothered by the constant wear-and-tear on your base, then go right ahead! But most people who play the game don’t really do it just to build and defend their base constantly... So, here is a list of some of the best The Forest base locations! Hopefully, some of these appeal to you~ 

10: Near Any Ponds 

Regarding the exact reasons pond bases are a good idea, you have: 

• Constant access to water! (Whether fresh, drinkable water or dirty water that you need to boil, you will always have access to it. You might not even need a water collector since you will be able to simply walk outside your base and fill up a pot.) 
• Easy access to food. (Again... You’re on a pond. So that means fish! Lots of fish. You have a steady supply of food right outside your door. If you have resource and animal responds on, that means you will never run out of fish to hunt, either!) 
• Natural cannibal deterrent. (Cannibals hate water. In fact, they immediately drown if they stay in deep water for too long! So having your base surrounded by water means you barely need to build any defenses. Some simple defenses would still be nice—like effigies to ward them off during the day—but having your base in the middle of a pond or lake especially means it’s nearly impossible for them to reach you in the first place.) 

Ponds and lakes are all over the island, so there is no shortage of places to build. The one thing I can suggest for this type of base is to avoid building on or near a pond that is nearby a cannibal camp. Less patrols and overall chances to encounter cannibals that way. 

9: Against Cliff Edges 

When it comes to the main reasons for building a cliffside base, these are the biggest ones: 

• Less time spent building. (With one side of your base against an already solid surface, you won’t have to use up as many materials building walls around your home. You can even line all your important buildings and resources against that cliffside to keep it all in one place!) 
• Less need for traps and fortifications. (Going along with having one side of your base against a cliff, this also means you need less traps and walls, period! You won’t have to invest as much time, and as many resources in surrounding your walls and base with traps. There’s less area that cannibals can charge from, and you have less area you need to watch over.) 
• Cannibals have a harder time breaking your stuff! (This goes without saying, but... With less open areas for cannibals to emerge from, and less possibilities for walls and traps to be broken, you also have lessened chances for cannibals to actually get through to your base in the first place. They won’t ever be able to get in from the back due to a solid wall of rock being there, and the only other places they can go, your traps will be!) 

There are plenty of cliffsides on the island, but the best ones are always on the edges. The cliffs are tall, and the area you can build in is a decent size. Whether you are expecting to build a small base to live in, or an impenetrable fortress, cliffsides are an effective way to go. You may still get some cannibal patrols, but they’re not as common on the beaches! 

8: Floating Bases 

Though floating bases aren’t the best for resources and food, they excel in very particular things, including: 

• Cannibals cannot ever get to you! (As previously mentioned, cannibals cannot swim. They do not like water and immediately die in it if they go too far, or too deep. Building in the middle of water is the easiest way to avoid cannibal encounters and patrols all together!) 
• Constant source of water. (This goes without saying, but... You are surrounded by it. You will never run out of water with this base.) 

As with the other base locations so far, you can place this base anywhere on the island. If there is a body of water big enough for you to fit your base in without it touching any land, then it’s perfect! Large ponds and lakes, the ocean... There’s plenty of places. Just make sure you are not near a camp. 

7: The Islands 

Building bases on any of the islands is a clever idea, for mainly one specific reason: 

• No cannibals! (They rarely ever spawn out there, and they can’t get to you from the mainland. You are practically invincible to them out there!) 
• Water sources. (Unless you build water collectors, you’ll have to boil the saltwater to have it available to drink. But it is there!) 

The Islands are specific areas that are littered around the outskirts of the main island, just off the shore. There is plenty to choose from, but I would highly suggest only building on the larger ones, as well as the ones closer to shore. The cannibals still cannot get to you, but you will not have as hard a time going to and from the main island. 

6: The Snow Biome 

As previously stated, building in the Snow Biome is great for a few reasons if you can deal with the lack of resources: 

• No cannibals! (They rarely spawn up there, so patrols are few and far in between. You may still see some from time-to-time, but it’s nothing to worry about!) 
• Consistent food source. (Mushrooms are the only food you will find in this biome, but they’re everywhere, so technically food isn’t a problem.) 
• Large building areas! (The amount of open room you have to build in the Snow Biome is quite larger than most of the other areas, minus a few. Especially if you decide to build near the water sources!) 

The Snow Biome is in the top portion of the map, so you need to travel through the whole island to get there. It’s going to be a dangerous trek at times, but if you are dedicated, you will be able to make it! Just be sure you are stocked up on food and water for the journey. 

5: In the Trees 

Building your base up in the trees is a great idea! Mostly, it’s due to: 

• Large building areas. (Being able to build your fortress up in the trees gives you plenty of area, and room for ideas! There is really no end to how big you can make your base if you decide to build in the trees.) 
• Rarely dealing with cannibals! (As mentioned, cannibals can hardly get to you if your base and home is up in the sky. Some cannibals can still jump up into trees, and all of them can damage the trees you build on and break your base, but it is still much harder for them to get to you than if you have a base on the ground.) 
• Base ideas are flexible. (Thanks to the wide variety of base types you can build in the trees, you have unlimited potential up there! Whether you pick the predetermined Tree House Cabin, or you use the custom options, you can just keep building.) 

Like some of the previous locations, trees are scattered all over the island, so there is no specific place you should build! I suggest avoiding areas close to camps or caves, however, as they are usually guarded by cannibals or mutants. Try and pick safer areas that less patrols travel through. 

4: The South Beach 

The South Beach is a wonderful place to build, and for plenty of reasons: 

• Natural base defenses! (Along with the cliffside and ocean being natural barriers for cannibals, you also have a large open area that makes it easy to spot them.) 
• Situated near an early-game cave! (Being near the cave where you find valuable resources and the beginning of the overall story of The Forest is a great plus, especially if you are a beginner. Plus, it’s also the respawn cave, so if you die and get “captured” it will not take long to get back home.) 
• Situated near the Yacht! (The yacht is another great resource in the game, both for early and late-game content. It gives you more story details, as well as more great resources. Having your base near this resource is a wonderful thing.) 
• Large open area. (As previously mentioned, the South Beach is a large, open area. Not only does this make it easy to spot cannibals, but it gives you a heck of a lot of building room! You can make a giant, impenetrable fortress if you really want to!) 
• Stock full of resources. (Other than birds, rabbits, lizards and many other animals, there’s also a plethora of blueberry bushes all around the beach. That, plus the access to water means you will never run out!) 

The South Beach is on the lower, Southeast part of the map. It is a specific location, but it is well worth the trip and trouble if you wind up spawning a bit farther away. It has its own spawn location however, so you might get lucky! 

3: Goose/Geese Lake 

Goose Lake is another amazing base location, and for plenty of reasons: 

• Fresh water! (Unlike some other locations, the water in Goose Lake is already drinkable, so you don’t need to boil it. Just step outside your home and have a good drink. You will have a constant source of fresh water.) 
• Constant food source! (This is in the name of the area, but your main source of food will be geese, here. You won’t have to go far from your base in order to hunt down some food to eat! They always appear as well, so you will not run out, either.) 
• Lookout areas. (Goose Lake especially has tall towers that you can climb up and use as lookouts! Few other areas have that addition, and it makes scanning for cannibals a lot easier.) 
• Cannibals cannot get you. (As with nearly all the base locations, it is fairly hard for cannibals to effectively reach your base and attack it. Trying to cross the lake itself will easily result in death, and there’s a cliff face that they simply cannot get past, so you are well protected even without walls and traps!) 
• Near caves. (Like other locations, Goose Lake is near a few camps and cave entrances, so you can advance the story and gather some superb loot, tools, and weapons without having to travel too far.) 

Goose Lake is toward the Northwest of the map in its own specific area. You cannot miss it; it’s the largest lake on the map! It’s near some camps, but that won’t be an issue due to how you can build on it. Some traveling will be needed in order to make it there, but it’s worth it in the end! 

2: The Tree 

Like the South Beach, the Tree Peninsula is a great spot for a few reasons: 

• A large, open area for building! (You basically have that entire peninsula to build on, so you have no real issue with space. You can make your base as large or small as you would like.) 
• Cannibals cannot harass you so easily. (Though it’s a rather open area, one good thing is that there is only one direction for them to come from. Blocking off that area means you are home free! Only the occasional patrol and mutants will bother you there.) 
• Plenty of resources. (Just like with South Beach, there are plenty of sources of food, water and building materials! Small mammals, birds, berries and of course trees are all around, and a short trip down the peninsula in front of your base is as far as you’ll need to go.) 
• Natural defenses. (Considering it’s a cliff-based peninsula, you have large cliff faces both on the left and right that cannibals cannot climb. Not to mention the pointy cliff face at the top, behind the tree. There really is only one way up and down, and you can easily block that off with a wall and traps. Honestly, there’s not much more defensive building you’ll need to do other than that!) 

Being in the same area as the South Beach, it’s in the lower Southeast section. It’s that peninsula at the bottom that juts out toward the sea. More specifically, it is at the very top! It’s not hard to get too, as you can avoid traveling through cannibal camps easily. 

1: The Valley 

The Valley is the best place to build a base, and for plenty of reasons: 

• Very easy to defend! (The Valley is squished between two large cliff faces, so automatically that means cannibals can barely get to you. That also means you don’t have to do too much defensive building! One simple wall to secure your chosen area, and maybe a trap or two, and you’re all set.) 
• Large building space! (Being such a large area means you can make a truly massive base and not need to worry about cramming too much in. There is no such thing as too much when you build in The Valley. You have an ample amount of room for towers, houses, resources, and anything else you could think of.) 
• Lots of resources. (The Valley is chock full of everything you could need. Lots of animals spawn there, plenty of berry bushes grow there, and there’s of course the lake. You will have a constant supply of food, water, and even basic building resources at your disposal.) 
• It’s a central map location! (One main point about The Valley is that it’s in a central point of the map. You can reach just about any camp, cave, or special area from this base location, so resources, tools and end-game loot are everywhere! It’s a perfect spot!) 

This location is a bit hard to notice, but it’s in the East section of the map, near the end of the river. It looks like someone poked the island with a pointy stick if you look at the updated map! It’s a far trek regardless of where you spawn, but it is absolutely worth it to get there. Just be careful of the many cannibal camps you need to pass by on the way!
