Can't change the original message, it's too long, so here goes:
Start
This is the starting location, well... one of them
Start location
I got out of my hole in the ground, as you can see there are some items to pick up. Not much.
First quest
In every start location there are some NPC, some will tell you abut the nearest city, others will give you a simple quest. The ghul here gives a quest to go to VC
VC
VC is the worst place to start (in my opinion). This green haired chick is the person to talk to to finish the starting quest.
Moving on
Not much to do in VC, so I went south, as you see in the log, there where some encounters but I managed to run away from all of them
On the road
So I got to NCR...
Smokes
This here is NCR, you see me getting the quest from Buster
I make this look good
Quest done, my new leather and lace
The bar
If you like to know here's the bar to get the smokes from, there's also a quest here, repay a dept
Dept
This is Dusty, pay him the money, the dude in the corner is also worth talking to
Awarness 
Talk to this guy to get a good, free perk, just don't use the option to attack him, you'll die.
Tent part 1
So, after the quest in NCR you will get to lv2, go to the world map and you'll see a new location, go there
Tent part 2
...there you will find some NPC, talk to the woman in the tent and say you'll help, a new location will get marked on your map
Tent part 3
In the new location - find the BB gun, unless you have something better with you - I had no weapon, you have enough time to pick it up and put in in your hand before combat starts
Tent part 4
Use the BB gun to shoot the rats, it's simple
Tent part 5
If you get hurt use First Aid...
Tent part 6
If you get hurt and you can't use FA, look on the shelf, there's some healing powder there.
Tent part 7
After killing the rats take a moment to look around, there's a hammer here...
Tent part 8
...and a hatchet here
Tent part 9
Go back to the first location, talk and the npcs will go away, but they will leave a folded tent
Tent part 10
...and some rope
Moving on
So now I got my folded tent and I'm going in the direction of Junktown, I've stopped on the way to pick up some flint...
Junk
..and I stopped again to pick up some junk, there was no junk
Junk part 2
This is where I was looking for junk, but someone else was here so I decided to move on
Crafting on the fly
I picked up some Broc on the way and turned them into Healing Powder, some extra xp
Fight
I bumped into some mantis on the way, they are easy to kill even with a BB, the cave was empty.
Junktown
So I finally goth there...
My tent
This is a good place to place a tent, so I did
My tent part 2
So this is my new safe corner of the world, before I start digging in the mine I need to get some extra stuff, so I left everything but one knife, the hatchet and BB gun -went looking for timber
This in not timber
Before I found any wood to chop I found this, a nice find and a reason to always have a knife
Fibers
so I cut the fibers
Fruit
...and picked up the fruit - no use for them now, but You never know
Wood
After some more time I found some wood to chop
Pig Rats
This is why I took the BB with me, Pig Rats are easy to kill
More crafting on the fly
More broc, more healing powder, more free xp, you can almost see in the background where I went to look for junk... should have made a screen showing that place, oh well
City junk
In this urban area I found some junk
City Tree
I also found some more fruit
14x junk
Got 14 junk, not much but It's all I needed, got back to my tent, dropped all this loot, took a sledgehammer and I went to the mine
Mining
Here you see me entering the mine with just a hammer
Minning
Here you see me exiting the mine with some minerals and ore
Tent again
So I left some of my minerals/ore here and took the rest to Junktown
Junktown
The green arrow here shows where is the workbench, I went here to turn the minerals and ore into metal marts and some 10mm ammo, the metal parts will be needed to craft a tool so that I can make a workbench at my tent
Barter
Well, what do we have here? No caps but a tool? Well, might as well trade and save some trouble
But wait
I will also buy some rad scorpion tails, theres a quest with that
Look for this guy
Look for this guy, he will want some radscorpion tail, just what we got
Reward
If you take any tool as a reward you will get less xp, I took nothing and got 300xp
Bench
Back at the tent, add wood to the fire and then talk to the campfire, with the tool and some more wood you can make an upgrade
Ore into metal
Now I have a workbench, can make the rest of my ore into metal parts
Back to the mine
Mine in the mine, boooring, but well- what else?
But be careful! Here you see someone fallowing me. That's a tent-raper, I tried to tel him that he'll be saved on a screenshot but he left... don't know why?
Level up
After crafting some metal parts and gunpowder I got a level up, now at level 4 and with 50 repair, time to get some caps
Quest in Hub
I made some ammo to sell, but there where no caps in Junktown, went to the Hub, and might as well do a quest
Shovel
They guy asks for a shovel, talk to this guy and get a free shovel
XP or reward
Just like the rad scorpion tails, 300xp for not taking anything
Bank
No caps at traders, but got some for lifting boxes (sorry, no screen), I put my caps in the bank here.
Shoping
No caps, but there's something worth buying - brahmin hides
Caps?
Still no caps, I got despaired and went to the Boneyard, I wanted to find and sell junk, here at the Audytum talk to a guard to get the location of the Scavangers.. but I didn't go there after all
Caps!
There's a shop here, and look, they had caps, I sold some 10mm ammo for almost 2000 caps, yay!
Back to Junktown
oh, look an encounter..
Gunsmith
so this is Boyce, talk to him, give him 1500 caps, and now you can craft some nice guns, and that's what I did
Bang-Bang!
So I made some combat shotguns, time to test them and sell th
Pow-Pow!
The shotgun also works on slavers and bandits, and look, a bandit gave me a new armor, how nice.
Back at NCR
Merchants at Hub and Junktown still had no caps, so I went to NCR, and look what I found!
Bank
I went to Rondo to get the armorer profession (sorry no screen) and put the rest of my money in the bank.
Tent nr2
I went back to my tent and used the rope I got and the brahmin hides I bough to make a new tent. Now I'm going north, near Modoc to hunt some Brahmin
With a little help
I decided to go to Modoc the long way - via the desert, on my way there I met some Bos patrol fighting monsters, I waited for a good shot and took the monsters out, good xp
More help
There was more then one encounter like this, here again using the same trick. I let them harm the centaurs and then finish them of.
Aliens
I bumped into some aliens, they give nice xp. Just shoot and move, shoot and move.
Fire geckos
This also works on fire geckos, shoot and move. I didn't have the perk to skin them, could get some nice caps for their hide
Out of Ammo
Oh, dang! I didn't make it even past New Reno when my ammo was all gone, well... I'll need to run.
I'm there
I got lucky, two encounters and I was where I wanted, I set my tent here
Brahmin
I went to VC to trade one of my shotguns for some ammo for the way back and I bumped into some Brahmin.. well I still got 11 shots....
Trade
Sold what I had in the bar, got some ammo, the nice type of ammo
Time to go back
Going back ....
Ants
If you, just like me, would bump into some ants... move on. Bad exp, not worth the ammo
Molerats
...you can shoot molerats on the other hand.
Craft
Back at the tent. Tent->Mine->Tent->Workbench and after that you end up with these. This time I'll make some more ammo....
Back north
Going back to my tent#2, the same way as before hunting some monsters on the way, they give nice xp
Level up
Before I got to my tent - look, level up!
At the north tent
I was ready to hunt some brahmin, and then I remembered - I should have taken the Pack Rat perk! I'm leaving all of my stuff at the tent and going nakid to Redding
Redding
This is where you can get the Pack Rat support perk
Ruskie
Oh, look, you don't see this often. A "ruskie" player, in a un-guarded town, not trying to kill me. See? They are not that bad, no need to set their embassy on fire....
Hunting brahmin
Back to the tent, get gun, ammo and hunt for brahmin.. they should be here somewhere...
Found'em
This is what we are looking for, find them, kill them, skin them. Do so until you have 30-40, then go back to craft some metal armors
Bad Girl
When I bumped into some npc and shot them all dead I figured that's about it for this guide, from this point You can go alone and do some damage to anything the wasteland throws at you. Good luck.
