Good stuff for beginners indeed! I would just add one simple yet pretty good thing - when you get your first reed chest or later when you have more - keep one of them burried under at least one block. Id suggest make Your floor out of packed or rammed earth and in one spot next to a wall dig 2 block deep hole put a chest inside and cover with 1 block of regular dirt. That way whatever is inside gets treated like its in a cellar - so any food Youll put in will last you a lot longer before it starts to spoil
