If you’re running low on health, learning How To Craft Bandages in 99 Nights In The Forest is one of the fastest ways to stay alive. Bandages heal you quickly or revive downed teammates, buying precious time in this brutally punishing survival game. Medkits are even stronger, however bandages are more reliable early in the game. And a bonus is that you can craft a bandage once you find the right spot to do it.
I’ve played this game many times to know crafting them changes everything, the more bandages you have, the better for you and your team. This guide covers the recipe, anvil setup, and pro tips to keep you alive longer. The real reason why I started crafting bandages is that when I first got into the stronghold, I died instantly. It was because I had zero bandages, since then, I always have at least 6 before doing anything dangerous.

Why Bandages Are Essential for Survival
Damage stacks fast in 99 Nights In The Forest. Wolves claw you mid-loot run, cultists ambush at your base, storms zap you in open fields, and the Deer will kill you fast if it catches you. Bandages heal about 40 to 50 HP, which is usually just enough to keep you alive or revive your teammate without wasting a medkit. It could come in handy if you are rushing the stronghold for diamonds and the ruby chest.
- If you’re struggling with nighttime danger, here are the best safe spots for escaping the Deer when healing isn’t enough.
Meanwhile, campfire passive healing works too, but it’s slow. Bandages are your go-to during exploration or fights. No bandage? You’re downed, helpless, waiting for rescue. In co-op, they’re squad savers, one teammate crafts while others defend. Stock 5 to 10 always, without them, nights end early.
What You Need To Craft Bandages in 99 Nights In The Forest

Bandages craft at the anvil, not a regular workbench. You can find the anvil close to your campfire. If you can’t find it, use the Radar to locate it.
- The recipe is simple: 2 Bunny Feet + 2 Wolf Pelts.
- Bunny Feet: Hunt rabbits near the spawn or the river edges. It may take up to 5 rabbits to get one foot, be patient.
- Wolf Pelts: Kill wolves. You get around one wolf pelt per 6 wolves.
No anvil parts needed beyond assembling it, interact with the bench beside the anvil to craft. Makes one bandage per recipe.

- Find Anvil Building: Large forest structure with vines on the entrance, chop down the vines and kill cultists inside (3 usually).

Best Places To Farm Bandage Materials

If you want to speed up How To Craft Bandages in 99 Nights In The Forest, these rabbit and wolf farming routes help a lot. Here’s where to find them:
- Rabbits (Bunny Feet): Spawn river edges, spawn grass patches. They often spawn near your campfire, use axe or spear to kill them, they don’t deal damage, so taking them out is easy.
- Wolves (Pelts): Gray packs forest paths, near medical houses. They deal damage, so make sure you have a spear at least to kill them quickly. You need normal wolf pelt, not the alpha wolf pelt.
- Medical Houses/Clinics: Cabinets spawn 1-2 bandages ready-made. Red-white buildings, campfire level 4+ spawn rate.
- Chests: Random overworld chests (trees, houses). 10-20% bandage chance.
Loop: River rabbits morning, wolf packs afternoon. Stock 20 feet/pelts by night 5. Avoid night hunts.
Pro Tips To Save Bandages and Heal Efficiently
You don’t want to waste them, so use these tips to make every bandage count:
- Campfire Combo: Heal passive near fire first. Saves bandages for fights and your teammates.
- Pre-Fight Stock: Craft 6 before cultist houses, child rescues, or strongholds. Don’t risk low HP.
- Bear Traps First: Trap wolves to avoid damage. Two hits on cultists with traps and one hit for wolves.
- Fast Shooting: Cycle weapons to drop threats quickly, less injury.
- Squad Revives: Carry downed friend in sack to base. No bandage wasted.
I personally use bandages most for strongholds or when I want to explore at night.

Bandages vs Medkits

Bandages are more for the early game. Each bandage will heal you 40-50 HP, which is quite enough and will also revive your teammates if they are down. It’s easy to craft with common materials and is best for cultists’ raids, strongholds, or night exploration. On the other hand, medkits cannot be crafted. It’s more like rare loot, you can find it in chests or clinics.
Each medkit will restore 100 HP which is awesome, but it takes longer to get the HP. Best for late game as you explore in the biomes where bear and alpha wolves are. Healing near your campfire is still good but it is extremely slow. Bandages for on-the-go, medkits emergencies. I carry 4 bandages, 1 medkit always. Bandages craftable = infinite supply late-game.

Common Mistakes Players Make
These mistakes happen constantly, even to experienced players:
- Craft Too Few: Make 2, run out mid-loot. Make sure you always have 5+.
- Skip Medical Houses: Cabinets full of freebies, hit spawn ones first.
- Night Fights Unprepped: No bandages = downed forever.
- Check your HP: Don’t wander into fights without checking your HP, most deaths happen because players push too far on low health.
- Panic Spam: Use 3 on one wolf, don’t do that.
- No Base Stock: Carry all? Stash extras at camp always.
Keep some of the bandages at your campfire so your teammates can use it too.
Extra Healing Tricks Most Players Don’t Know
Beyond bandages:
- Campfire Sit: Passive heal but slow, good for post-fight when you still have over half of your HP.
- Crockpot Stew: Eat the stew to get full hunger bar = restore HP faster.
- Sack Carry Revive: If your teammate is down, just put them in sack and take them back to your campfire and revive.
- If you prefer long passive survival runs, here’s how to safely AFK in 99 Nights In The Forest for 1000+ days.
Tip: If you eat a stew and stand near campfire, then there’s no need for bandage.
