The idea behind amassing a large number of Bolts is to explore as much of the map as possible. You can usually come across the crafting material while exploring abandoned areas on the map. This can be dangerous, as these locations tend to be hotspots for enemies and dangerous wildlife. Consider bringing a weapon like the Revolver along on your journey into the wilds.

You can also recycle various items, like tires, microwaves, and sheet metal, to fashion Bolts out of them. This is a safer alternative, but it will require you to sacrifice a few items from your inventory.

To recycle your spare materials, bring them to the Grinder next to the Crafting Table. Within seconds, you will receive a few Bolts in return. The amount of Bolts you receive depends on the amount and type of items you recycle.

While this is viable if you have an abundance of resources, it may not be the most practical strategy otherwise.
