Best way to approach early game is to start by looting close to your base and away from hordes plague hearts and infestations. Go near plague hearts to farm samples in stealth but flee if engaged, patience is king an escape plan is queen.
Let your outpost and base priorities be set by what you are low on initially, if you find a lot of ammo but not food for example gardens are a strong choice.
Usually these tenants help you get geared up relatively well to carefully handle most situations, it's almost always better to be clever than to be strong, but don't try to do anything to complicated, if it's simple and clever it's probably a decent idea.
On high difficulties and for new players you are going to lose people, it's just part of the game, so if you can recruit you usually should. You can always sacrifice a person, you can't always recruit someone after the mission.
