How not to die…
Stay out of town completely. You can survive in wilderness. See wiki on how to produce drinkable water.
You can kill animals for food and cook.
Wander far and wide during the day to scout. Mark stuff on map.
Pick up rocks to start. Throw and step back. Weaken a little before combat.
Watch encumbrance. Kills dodge. Ofyen useful to drop stuff before melee.
Just train on easy animals.
Craft a bow. Train. Make a better bow.
Start woth night vision trait. When stronger try town. With night vision makes it more exploreable.
Melee, dodge, bow, survival(just to level 5) are most important at start.
Go back to shelter at night. Craft and cook. Sleep in basement. Do this for a few days.
Stay away from town, army stuff, fema, ants, bees, spiders, dont go in woods.
Bedt bet to survive early on
