How To Drop Items In The Forest

As a grizzled veteran gamer who’s spent countless hours lost in the haunting wilderness of The Forest, I can’t stress enough the importance of understanding how to manage your inventory efficiently. It’s not just about surviving the horrors lurking in the shadows, but also keeping tabs on what you carry and where you store it.


Inventory is a key resource for survival in Endnight Games’ The Forest. It holds everything you might need, from meds and food to weapons, skins, and other items. Players can use these items to heal, regain energy, craft armor, or make tools.

In the game called “The Forest”, your storage capacity is limited. When it’s full, you can’t add any more items until you clear some space. This means you’ll need to get rid of some items. For those who might be uncertain about this process, this guide will show players how to discard or drop items in The Forest.

In contrast to many other games, disposing of items in The Forest isn’t as simple. Players are limited in what they can discard, with most objects automatically returning to their inventory. To drop an item, you first need to open your inventory by pressing ‘I,’ then select the item you wish to remove and finally press the ‘G’ button. The outcome depends on the item; it might fall to the ground or return to your inventory.

For instance, clicking on the ‘G’ key on your tool sends it back to your inventory. On the other hand, performing the same action with meat, whether fresh or spoiled causes it to fall. Essentially, the drop mechanism functions more like an un-equip function within the game, although there are a few exceptions to this rule.

As a gamer, I’ve learned that every item in my backpack has its own carrying capacity. If I gather more loot than I can carry, the excess will be automatically dropped. To maximize my inventory space, I’ve found it helpful to use up consumables like snacks, MEDS, and soda when possible, combine materials where I can, and set up storage for items that I don’t need immediately. This way, I can carry the essentials without being weighed down.

To set up a storage area, first, open your Survival Guide using the ‘B’ button. Next, look for the down-arrow icon at the top of the navigation bar to access the storage settings. From here, you are free to select any shelves, cupboards, or storage containers that suit your needs. The storage section has a total of three pages; you can move between them by clicking on the ‘Storage2’ or ‘Storage3’ icons positioned in the lower right corner.

Every storage system needs materials such as wooden planks (sticks) and logs for its construction. After gathering the necessary resources and setting up the shelf, players can transfer items from their inventory to it by clicking the ‘C’ key. To return items to their inventory, players should press the ‘E’ button on their keyboard.
