The items you get from opening chests or breaking objects are fairly random though, and String doesn’t seem to be very common based on my experience, so your best bet is crafting it yourself.

How to craft String in Enshrouded

Crafting one String in Enshouded requires three Plant Fiber and can be done using the regular crafting menu or the manual crafting section at a Workbench. This means you can craft it anywhere on the go as long as you have the right materials or from the comfort of your base where you have a Workbench set up.

As long as you know how to get Plant Fiber, you won’t have any issues crafting String as needed. I recommend crafting extra and storing some in a chest since you are going to find that most craftable items require some, which means you need String quite frequently.
