Later down the line, players will gradually discover more advanced technology and rather bizarre items.

Where to find the Hang Glider in Sons of the Forest

The Hanger Glider is an incredibly useful item that can be found in the open world in Sons of the Forest. The closest Hang Glider location is closest to the cave where players find the shovel, on the outskirts of the massive mountain range that takes up the majority of the center of the map. The exact location of this Hang Glider can be seen in the photo below.

Players will need to traverse up the mountain from its base in order to reach the mountain’s plateau. Thankfully in Sons of the Forest, the playable character is able to climb up very steep surfaces, so be sure to make use of this.

Once on the mountain’s ridge with the forest still in sight, players will locate the Hang Glider near an abandoned encampment of orange tents. The Hang Glider unfortunately cannot be stored in your inventory, so players will need to keep track of the Hang Glider’s physical location at all times.
