Where to Find the Food Bunker in Sons of the Forest

Fortunately, the Food Bunker is close to the beach helicopter crash site, allowing you to get here relatively early in the game without too much hassle if you started here. However, it’ll take slightly longer to get here from the other two helicopter spawn spots.

The main downside is that you’ll only be able to access one main room before requiring a Maintenance Keycard to progress further. Don’t worry, though; it’s still worth coming here to pick up some food if you’re near the spot.

The route to the food bunker will depend on where you start and your current location. For example, if you start at the beach helicopter site, you’ll want to go southwest into the forest. Similarly, if you’re at the mountain site, you’ll head northwest instead.

Either way, your destination is in the northwest part of the map, just above a pond leading into the sea. On the surface, you’re looking for a cave with a ruined golf cart outside its entrance.

Once you enter the cave, head down the dark ramps and navigate through it until you find a latch labelled “Food and Dining”. Head down here and descend the ladder to find a food storage room! You’ll find various resources here to pick up, with more available through the Maintenance Keycard door.
