Fish traps: Water bottle + Knife + Worm = Small fishing trap
Metal wire + Netting + Worm = Large fishing trap
Fishing rod = 1x Sharpened long stick + Rope + 1x Bone Hook OR 1x Regular Hook + Worm

If you cannot find a knife to cut these items, you can use bones to craft a bone knife (Found from dead animals or bodies) OR you can use a blunt weapon to hit a rock to craft a stone knife.

Note that the fishing traps can take 10 to 20 mins to work. You would also need to keep 82ft or 24 meters away from the traps aswell. Ideally, place the traps outside of a major city, loot, then come back after you've finished.

Shelter kit: 1x Rope + 4x Short Sticks
Stick shelter: 50x Short Sticks + 4x Long Sticks

You must place the shelter kit first before building the stick shelter itself. Also, cutting down a tree or bush and placing your shelter on top can give you more camo and protection for when the tree or bush grows back, making your shelter very hidden. This also helps if you're needing to start a fire and you're wanting to hide your smoke from other players.
