How to craft a Scarecrow in Sons of the Forest

Thankfully, unlike other structures that require you to chop down multiple trees or get items that are difficult to find, the Scarecrow can be built easily by using few materials. You just need 14 Sticks and 4 pieces of Duct Tape to build it. Sticks can be found on the ground all over the forest. If you can’t find them, you can chop down small trees. These will give you enough Sticks to build the Scarecrow. As for the Duct Tape, it can be found as regular loot all over the map, but you should try looking for it inside Crates. It is also available around the crash site where you first spawn in the game.

After you have the materials in your inventory, open your Crafting Book and switch the mode. When the book is in your left hand, navigate through Utilities and find the Scarecrow. Then, place it wherever you like, and go near it. You can then start placing the Sticks and Duct Tape on it by pressing the ‘E’ key.
