How to get a sled in Sons of the Forest
Sons of The Forest currently has no fast travel system or vehicles in the game. That means travelling in Sons of The Forest can be slow going if you don’t have the right tools. The sled enables you to drop from high areas without taking fall damage and is the fastest way to travel currently. To find out how to get the sled in Sons of The Forest, read here.

Sons of the Forest: 3D printer location

The Sled is an item that can only be obtained by 3D printing. This means you must first discover the bunker containing the 3D printer in the game (the location of which is circled on the map above.)
You'll know you're in the right place when you see a deserted golf buggy outside of a cave entrance and when you're on top of a glowing green map marker. Within the cave is the bunker entrance, advance through and walk through the hallway until you get to the open door at the end.
This room contains a sleeping roll, a 3D printer and around 300 Printer Resin. You'll need 1,000 Printer Resin to print the sled. This means collecting it from nearby caves, supply crates, and other abandoned bunkers.
