Another tip for everyone.
If you find a block of iron, check the ground around it. There's normally quite a bit under the rock.
Jumped on yesterday and went hunting, found a few wolves, sheep and deer so we now have plenty of food...for now. When going hunting, make sure you have a hunting knife with you, i got an extra 6 or 7 meat from using a hunting knife. I ended up travelling east until i met the radiation zone (not that far away), watch out for the radiation zone and it's not obvious. I'm hoping that you can build hazmat suits and go through it. It's looks like we're surrounded by snow and burnt zone, which isn't great. So we may look to move a lot futher away, to build a base from scratch.
I can already tell that this game is going to be a proper grind, i think i've touched on about 3% of the game so far.
Below are some screenshots of food, the bicycle you can build and the house on the hill that we should go check out at some point
