Whether you’re crafting water jars, clothing, or even leather for weapons, a simple rough skin can save you in Westland Survival. That’s why in this article I will be talking about the best places to find Hides. I will be also including some other resources that you can find in the locations that I will be mentioning. With that being said, let’s get on to it.
5. FOREST LAKE

This place looks peaceful, I hope there's no Wendigos around here.
Rough Skin is one of the major materials that you need in order to progress at the game. And Forest Lake is one of the perfect places to start off your farming journey in Westland Survival. A balanced amount of pine tree and stones, as well as herbs for medicines and wild animals, and of course there are chests scattered around the area as well. A simple defensive item, clothing and a weapon, should do it whenever you visit this location and a torch when it comes nighttime.
What’s great about Forest Lake:
Area Quests
Abundance of Medicative herbs
Wild animals that specifically drop Rough Skin
Balanced amount of Pine Trees and Rocks
How To Get There:
When you go to the World Map, this location is at the north part of your base, the only location that is near your base.
4. FOGGY LAKE

It may be the fog, but I thought I saw something over there.
Another location that is balanced with resources. With Oak Trees and Shale everywhere, as well as Plantago. One thing that I forgot to mention is that if you get lucky, a cave might spawn whenever you visit one of these locations, although you have to have at least enough spirit so that the bear wouldn’t attack you when you enter. Like Forest Lake, having decent gear and a torch should be enough to get you by in this location.
What’s great about Foggy Lake:
Area Quests
Wild animals that specifically drop Thin Hide
Abundance of Medicative herbs & Plantago
Abundance of Pine trees and Oak trees
Minimal count of Rocks and Shale
How To Get There:
When you go to the World Map, this location is at the southern part of your base, and just the east side of the River Crossing
3. DRIED FOREST

As they say, red usually means something ominous is around lurking.
Unlike the locations that are mentioned here, Dried Forest is the only location where there are no mini quests available, though this is one of the places where you can obtain Fur for creating clothing that is specifically for the cold locations. This location also has tier 1, albeit only a minimal amount, up to 3 materials, although it is scarce, after a couple of trips here you should have enough fur to craft one set of fur clothing to enter the Snowy Passage. It also has a decent amount of Iron ore, used to make iron nails for fur clothing.
What’s great about Dried Forest:
Wild animals that specifically drop Fur
Abundance of Medicative herbs, Plantago, and Agastache
Abundance of Pine trees, Oak trees, and Maple trees
Minimal count of Rocks and Iron Ore
How To Get There:
When you go to the World Map, Dried Forest can be found at the easternmost side of the map near the Spirit Cave.
2. ASH GROVE

The tree makes me feel like I'm in a fantasy world.
The place where it places panic over you as you try and visit this on your first time. Even though there is a 1:1 ratio of wild animals and outlaws around in this area, it is balanced with the amount of healing herbs and sometimes there are granites that spawn, which is needed for upgrading workbenches and defenses in your base. Sometimes, there are wild animals that spawn here that drop a couple of Perfect hide.
What’s great about Ash Grove:
Area Quests
Wild animals that specifically drop Fine Hide
Abundance of Agastache and Matricaria Chamomilla
Abundance of Ash trees; Minimal count of Larch trees
Minimal count of Marble (Best to make a short trip to the Flooded Plateau for this and other ores)
How To Get There:
When you go to the World Map, Ash Grove can be found at the southern part of the map, just below the Interfluve and at the west side of Flooded plateau.
1. SHALLOW LAKE

I'll collect any resources as long as they have this kind of view.
So far, the easiest Red zone to visit out of them all. With just a few numbers of outlaws running around and a lot of wild animals, farming around in this part would be easy, especially if you have enough spirit points so that those wild animals won’t bother you. The reason that I place Shallow Lake in the number 1 spot is because with the amount of wild animals in this specific location you’ll certainly be able to get perfect hide from those animals.
What’s great about Shallow Lake:
Wild animals that specifically drop Fine and Perfect Hide
Abundance of Agastache and Matricaria Chamomilla
Abundance of Ash trees; Minimal count of Larch trees
How To Get There:
When you go to the World Map, Shallow Lake can be found at the south-west part of the map, just below the River Crossing.
Note: You have to have the bridge at the River Crossing fixed in order to gain access to both Ash Grove and Shallow Lake. For guides on how to fix the bridge at the River Crossing, you can check this video down below on what materials to craft and get for it.
I can't WAIT to fix this bridge and explore at the southern part of the map!
