Sons Of The Forest: How To Get The Canteen

While there are deep mysteries to be solved on the island in Sons of the Forest, you won't be able to fully explore it until you've figured out how to survive on long journeys. One of the core needs is ensuring that your character is hydrated, with the Canteen, known as a Flask in-game, being the most useful tool to transport water.

Sons Of The Forest: How To Get A Golf Cart

Why walk through the island when you can drive a golf cart? You and your friends can travel in this vehicle. No golf sticks included, though.

While it might not be the easiest item to locate, crafting enough for you and your entire team is possible. As long as you have the right resources and know where on the island to look, you'll be sipping fresh water out of your Flask anywhere on the island.

How To Get A Flask

A Flask allows you to transport water while you're away from safe resources, but it can only be obtained from one of the 3D printers on the island. Once you find one, you can print the Flask for 100 mL, which is just one cartridge of ink.

One of the easier and less guarded 3D printers to locate isn't far from the helicopter crash site in the forest, only slightly northwest of where you start at that spawn point. You can also head west from the reservoir with all the branching rivers, turning slightly to the north in between the connecting paths.

There are no cannibals or mutants in this cave, as it's just a downward slope into a long hallway with the 3D printer at the end.

There's no marker or other notifying features next to the cave, making it easy to miss unless you know exactly where to look. Once you do find it, consider placing a GPS locator on a stick or other item so that you know how to get back when you need to.

Once you print the flask, you'll still need to ensure that you're filling it from a clean water source to get the full benefits. This can either be a rain catcher or from clean water that's been boiled in a pot over the fire.

If you're looking to print more than one Flask and other items, you'll need to collect extra printer ink from caves and other hidden areas on the island.
