A shovel is an essential tool that will help you dig up resources. You will also need it for certain quests during your exploration.

Where to get the Rope Gun and Rebreather in Sons of the Forest
You should first get a Rope Gun and a Rebreather since the place you have to go and get the shovel is quite hard to reach. You can find the Rebreather in the first cave you enter, which is just south of the crash site.
The Rope Gun, on the other hand, will require you to venture out into a more dangerous cave. The cave you should be looking for is beside the cave that has the 3D printer. You also need weapons, since the area will be swarming with mutants. Also, keeping some explosives and flares on you will help you reach blocked areas. The cave is pretty dark, so having a torch is also essential. The cave is not too complicated to maneuver your way around, and you can find the Rope Gun in no time.
