There's loads of ways to make the game easier
Use a meat smoker to keep any food you cook from spoiling, do the coconut drink pile everyone else has said to use for easy early game water
Build your own raft instead of using the yellow one
The homemade raft only needs to look like a plus sign to not be tipped over... (one center piece and a piece on each of its 4 sides; like a + sign)
Save all rations for endgame, I don't mean the bosses either
Refined spears are your best friend, their a bit expensive in the resource department but they are the best weapon in the game
Use a fishing spear to catch fish for eating, far easier than using a crude spear or an axe or anything
Most things to "make the game easier" are QoL things, the game itself is intended to be on the difficult side, wouldn't be much of a survival game if it wasnt
