How to Find Water in Winter in Sons of the Forest

Getting water in winter isn’t as easy as getting water during other seasons in Sons of the Forest. There are lots of bodies of water around which include lakes, rivers, streams, etc. Normally you can just drink the water from those but in winter, these bodies of water are frozen.

One of the ways you can have water to drink in winter is by saving it. Making a Water Flask from the 3D Printer and saving water in that before winter can be one way to prepare. You can also save Canned Drinks in your base or inventory.

If you didn’t have the foresight to save water and it’s winter already, don’t worry. You can still get water in winter with a little more effort. All you need to do is find a big body of water like a lake and search around it.

You will find that there are smaller streams leading off from the lake. There should be water in one of these smaller streams.
Once you find this stream of water, fill up your Water Flask with this water and you should now have drinkable water during the Winter.

That is all you need to know on how to find water during winter in Sons of the Forest. For more articles like this, check out our other guides on Sons of the Forest like how to get water and how to make a spear.
