I won't go into details of how to do every single thing, but this should outline some landmarks if someone is at a loss of what to do next.
Feel free to make suggestions.
Early Hours
Buy the Lumberjacking, Foraging, Hunting and Carpentry skills.
Craft your Stone Axe.
Find a Hollow Log.
Chop 3x block of wood. Craft Clogs [C>C>C] and Wooden Cup [C>S>C>C]. Wooden Cup holds 50% more water than a Kuksa.
Fill your Wooden Cup in a nearby river, but be sparing with your energy/stamina. Only Run (3rd speed) on terrains where Sprinting (4th speed) isn't grayed out.
Gather 6x birch bark.
Level exploration to 3.
Gather 2x taproot.
Craft a Birchbark Backpack. [C>C>K>B]
Gather 1x taproot and 2x fir bough.
Craft a Spruce Cap (+1 perception). [C>C>H>S]
Gather 1x bone and 1x any tree bough.
- the easiest way butchering a chicken, they don't run away -
- squirrels are also easy, they run slower than your third speed -
- rabbits are the hardest, use your Crawling (1st) speed to get closer, then switch to Sprinting (4th) to be able to catch up -
Craft a Bone Saw. [C>C>T>N]
Chopping a tree wastes too much stamina and energy. At this point, someone probably already has chopped one. Use this to your advantage and bum 2x boards so that you can craft a Bucket. [C>C>T>B]
Throw away your wooden cup and fill up your bucket at a nearby river. You can drink directly from the bucket, but you can only carry it if you equip the bucket on a hand slot.
Buy the Fishing (good LP source) and Will to Power (combat skills, whose discoveries net 50 LP each).
Level exploration to 6.
Level survival to 4.
Level unarmed combat to 3.
Get at least an extra perception point by eating blackberry and/or grilled frog legs. (12 total with Sprucecap).
Now you'll craft some clothing to increase your survival and unarmed combat abilities. You'll need a bunch of stinging nettle.
Keep in mind that you can wear two pants and two shirts at the same time.
Craft them in this order:
Nettle Pants
Nettle Pants (at this point you'll have 5 in unarmed combat, which is enough to fight ants without taking damage)
Nettle Shirt
Nettle Shirt (at this point you'll have 10 in survival)
Having 10 in survival, remake your equipment (except backpack, bucket, bonesaw) so that your stuff is at least quality 10.
A q10 Stone Axe is enough to mine some walls and perhaps score some iron ochre. Mining is kinda expensive, so it's kind of optional.

Fishing for LP
I won't explain how to craft the fishing equipment, you should be able to know by now.
Carry some spare strings and bone hooks.
Find a swamp.
Gather as many dragonflies as you feel like. Put one in your study, the rest you'll use as bait.
Meanwhile, let the leeches suck your blood. When they are full, they'll also be used as bait.
Fishing, you earn LP in three steps, but only when you get a new kind of fish (discovery): when you fish it, when you butcher it, and when you roast the fillet.
Each fish will net you at least 150 LP, which is pretty much an instant low q Ant Soldiers. And there are 19 kinds of fish listed on the wiki. You do the math.
