You probably didn't explore long enough for a good settlement location. If your base isn't too deployed yet, it might be a good idea to destroy it (to get half the resources back) and move on to a place that's more to your taste.

If you have some rot (since you apparently can't get manure) and a shovel, dig up every berry bush you encounter to plant them next to your base. That way you'll have berries easily. For the rabbits, set the traps right above their hole (as said in the article), about 8 out of 10 times they fall right into it when they get out.

Hope that helps :)
