Youtube :P as a short answer; but I'm sure people will be along to detail exactly where to find stuff; especially depending on whether you care about spoiling things for yourself or not?

First thing you want is a weak spear, which you're going to practice throwing at trees and animals until you can hit things alright. After you kill your first cannibal fairly easily, use the bones and skull to make an upgraded spear and crafted club. You're now pretty much the most dangerous thing on the island for a while. Make yourself a bow and a repair tool, and work on finding resources for arrows - preferably bone.

Once you're reasonably set up with arrows, make a platform maybe 1 1/2 times your character's height and a small cabin pretty much anywhere you want - preferably close to a water source, and kill cannibals until you fill up your armor. The most complicated thing you'll need for all this is cloth/rope, which really isn't that hard to find.

At that point you can pretty much do what you want, but I'd recommend doing all this on the beach close to cave 7 if you want to have fairly quick access to dynamite and a lot of action.

There's a pretty helpful wiki. First one when you google it. Cave 7's to the north of that land bridge on the western side of the map. The one northwest of the giant sinkhole. That whole area's really active, so really only go there after you get your bearings, and only into the cave when your armor's pretty high. This might not be the case every time, but mutants started spawning for me only after I entered the caves, so maybe don't do that until you're better with that spear.

Should also mention the intent here isn't to recommend doing the whole cave, just the first section that will get you the dynamite and a ton of cloth :)

Considering you're kinda-well into the game, I'd say you should first go for the Katana. Idk how to describe the location as it's pretty generic highlands, but it's easy to get and you don't need to fight anyone. Look up a video for that.

You can also go for the Modern Axe, which is highly efficent and would greatly aid your efforts in base building. You'd have to fight 3-5 cannibals though, but would get a great amount of loot including dynamite, coins (for bombs), cloth, and the modern axe.

Finally you can just build an upgraded spear by making a weak spear then burning some bodies to get bones, then craft the bone spear with cloth. Always gives me a bonafide BONER when I slaughter the cannibals (I'll go home now).

Caves. i recommend getting the modern axe and maybe the katana day 1

Edit: You will have to run past a virginia and kill 2 cannibal but it shouldnt be that hard since it's easy to avoid virginia and the 2 cannibal are weak asf. they die in like 2 hits from a burning upgraded stick

Easy weapon early on "No Caving Needed" find the Plane Cockpit, not far from the Katana cave https://theforestmap.com/#-523.5,147.3 & grab the "Flare Gun".

You can craft ammo from the common flares found by combining the flares on the inventory-mat with the gun itself.

Flares can be found all over the place mostly in yellow containers. ( I had more than I could use by end game )

You can carry infinite flare gun-ammo but only a set ammount of flares so best to convert them.

Note: Since your new I'll mention this, you can Hot-Key weapons by combining them with the Back-Pack.

You don't even need to fight anything in the katana cave. It's really easy to sneak around the cannibals and mutant. For the modern axe cave... I just don't like it because it's creepy af and I prefer to avoid it as much as possible.

me2 but once you run past the enemies its actually kind peaceful. of course you'll have to fight 2 cannibals that get in your way but they die in 3 - 4 hit of a lit upgraded stick

If you clear out the entire cave then it's 3 I think. I just fully explore every cave so that I don't need to go back to my "to do" list

Play, learn and adapt. Also, learn how to communicate better than saying "title".

There a youtuber called BroadBent that does a series of youtube videos on how to get the best items in the game within minutes of starting. I'd recommend follow the example of all his video except how to get the map and compass, which he tells you to die...if you don't want to die is fairly easy to get the map/compass.
