I love a good hiding spot, I love finding new ones and finding other peoples though I never steal there stuff, I just judge their hiding skills ;)

Friends are great to have help with, but unless you're a capped pk build you and up to 3 of your friends will die, A LOT when encountering pk'rs. Right now the game is mostly about working to get nice stuff just to hide that stuff in your tent. Be extremely careful wherever you go, that will help you more any weapon. And truly the saddest thing is, if you don't know the person you just encountered wherever you are in game, don't trust them.

If you don't have a tent then you really should start a bank account, bank-runs don't usually last that long and you will be able to get you caps eventually if you hit one.
If you are in a group (or not) play in real-time. It pays to get used to this style of combat as you will eventually find yourself in an RT fight no mater what, also you are less likely to encounter PK's as most of them prefer TB in my experience.
and yes, BE PARANOID!

I have to say that TB combat is safer especially if you gather a nice sum of outdoorsman skill you won't get in traps easily except if you want to enter on your own. Average chars who were made by those who played Fallout before have bonus move and action boy too which means they are better in TB.

TB fights last A LOT longer which increases your chances to be encountered by another player who may very well kill you which, imo puts your risk at least on par with an RT fight..
RT players can use outdoorsman just the same.
As I have said, its only a matter of time before you catch yourself in an RT situation, so its best you learn how to use your character that way anyway.
Jotisz:
RT fight can happen in location only if the player has TB mode on and if the location is camped by a group then a lone guy wouldn't win no matter how skilled he/she is it will end in death on load.
About someone entering in the encounter its harder to run away in RT if you are hit already and someone enters you can't leave without combat timeout and you probably won't be able.
Also RT combat at lvl 1 needs fast actions or you die try to kill armed critters.

If you are in TB you are not likely to encounter an RT camp, however in my experience PK's usually play in TB which makes you more likely to encounter them. I say this because I play in RT and rarely (perhaps never?) encounter PK's since I switched from TB.
When I said that everyone will eventually hit an RT fight I was talking about fights in areas like unprotected towns, mines, waterworks etc. where TB combat is never possible.
When I first realized that things like sequence and bonus move had no use in RT combat I stopped making TB characters as they have no edge in these places and we all need to visit them eventually.
