Use it near water to fill it. Cook it over a camp fire to get drinkable water.
You can cook a stew with the cooking pot. After adding the pot filled with water on a fire, add a choice of 20 ingredients (8 meats, 6 mushrooms, 4 herbs and 1 berry and oysters), it will start a 30s cooking period after which stew will be ready to eat, providing hydration, fullness and other benefits based on recipe. Can remain on the fire up to 10 minutes. Note, you can also add ingredients to pot without water, however this will not provide hydration and will burn food extremely fast.

Fish are killable with regular weapons and explosives. Rabbits that are lit on fire turn into edible cooked rabbits when they die. Inventory holds a maximum of 3.
Generic Meat - Can be collected from hunting sea turtles, boars, raccoons, and deer. Sea turtles are found on the beach and in the ocean.

Inventory holds a maximum of 4.
All meat must be cooked over a fire or hung on the drying rack to prepare before consuming.
Meat ages over time in inventory, going from fresh to edible to spoilt and providing less and less benefits and eventually becoming harmful. Meat appearance as well as inventory tooltip title change to reflect decay state.
Rocks are one of the primary building resources and can be found lying on the forest ground. The player may carry up to 5 rocks in his inventory at the same time and may use one as a weapon.
By combining a rock with a Stick and Rope, the player is able to craft the Stone Axe.
Rocks can be placed on the log sled.

Soda - soda drinks, similar the previous type, can be found inside of suitcases, in caves, in soda crates and in the camps. After consuming, they restore your energy to full while satisfying your thirst. Inventory holds a maximum of 10.
Kill a sea turtle or tortoise to obtain the shell. It can be equipped as a weapon and left clicking will bash enemies away. Use it as a shield by right clicking. Inventory holds a maximum of 1.
The turtle shell can also be used to construct a water collector.
The shell can also be used as a sled by jumping and doing a downward attack. (there is currently no fall damage, so you can sled into the sinkhole without taking damage, for example)
