- Enemy camps (with caution)
- Caves (ideally with a light source to explore with)

Is rope an important item in Sons Of The Forest?
We’d say that any kind of item that improves your chances of survival is an important one in Sons Of The Forest. With that being said, rope is a valuable asset to have stocked up in your inventory. Admittedly, there are definitely some more important resources out there – food, drinks (or a way to store your water), and weapons are what immediately come to mind.
Regardless, rope much more useful when it comes to getting to grips with the game’s crafting and building system. One key thing to point out is that many enemies are incapable of climbing rope, which is why something like rope access to your base (with a treehouse for example) is valuable.
