1) Keep trapping rabbits. Store them alive in chests.

2) Use turf for fuel.

3) Find grasslands with tons of berry bushes (mushroom ring also works) and keep the berries unharvested for winter. You can then make meatballs by putting 1-4 morsels in a crock pot and filling the rest of it with mushrooms or berries.

4) make advanced farms and try to get pumpkins or dragonfruit. Leave the crops unharvested when winter comes.

5) if you get a treeguard, lead it to pigs. Treeguard will forget you once it gets hit by pigs.

6) make a pighouse near your base. If you have a lot of monster meat, give 4 to the pig and then kill it. Otherwise, wait until full moon or just kill the pig whenever you like. It will respawn after few days.

7) If a lot of hounds come, either lead them to beefalo or equip your spear, log suit and (optionally) football helmet and just tank/kite them to death. You wont take almost any damage.

8) make LOTS of drying racks, dry meat/morsels on them. The jerkies wont spoil until you take them off the drying rack, so its better to have a lot of them.
