I'm finding the food / drink system in adventure mode rather annoying. You seem to get hungry / thirsty very quickly, it takes quite a bit of food to bring you back up to non-hungry and my waterskin keeps freezing.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could 'live off the land' but the landscapes seem to be pretty much bare of animals and dingo / whatever encounters are very low. I don't even find food supplies at camp sites (what do they eat?). Is it possible to increase the low level / animal encounter rate?

Hmm, I haven't had problems with the encounter rates...Regarding the frozen water, if you make a campfire (g->make campfire) you can turn the ice in your waterskin back to water.

Are you sneaking when you walk around? I used to have your same problem, but then I started sneaking everywhere and animals just popped up every few steps.

Turns out nearly everything in the game can see me before I see them, but there are plenty of edible beasties if you go stealth mode. Walk up to one, strangle, drink it's blood and eat its flesh. Hunger and thirst issues solved.

Ah, that could well be it. 

I belatedly found some earlier threads that had some good tips to try as well.

pick a good area to hunt in, next time your in town ask about the local area.
dont pick a waste land i.e. poler or desert, stay a way form evil places.

do pick a weak animal that runs away from you.
dont wear full armor.

when you attack try to take a limb off or you can try for a lung shot.
