I'd start by finding a sharp stone or tool to sharpen a stick. A sharpened stick can be used as both a primitive weapon and as an instrument for gathering food. I'd lurk around bodies of water, most notably fast-running ones for the sound of the water to disguise my footsteps, that and the stream could provide a bounty of fish I could use the makeshift spear to harvest. I would only light fires to dry caught fish out, building a fire for smoking the food and remaining a distance away from the fire; watching it carefully. Warmth is a luxury; survival is a necessity. To sleep, I would dig myself something akin to a Vietnamese Foxhole; sturdy enough for them to stand on top of and with branches, leaves, dirt, and grass to disguise the top. This gives me the benefit of a hidden, somewhat insulated sleeping area. As a bonus, if I awaken to hear someone walking on top of the foxhole I'd be able to thrust the spear between the branches that make up the top of the foxhole and impale someone from beneath and catch them from surprise. All of this I know how to do actually because my Papa taught me how when we were out on hunting trips; he said that "its better to have the information and know-how and never need it, than to one day need it and not have it."
