How to Open and Use the Guide Book in Sons of The Forest
The Guide Book is the game’s most important item. On starting the game you’ll crash land on the snowy mountains in the middle of the island. Adjust your bearings and open up your emergency survival kit. The Guide Book sits there waiting for you.
