To continue or to restart?

So I have put in roughly 17 hours on my first world. Mostly just learning. Stuck in copper age as I cannot figure out where is tin in order to make bronze and winter is almost there. No food stock at all, every day is foraging for food. Farm died on the verge of a harvest because I decided to use an old pit next to it to fire up some fireclay bricks. Only good thing is I have completely taken over a small fort but it has no insulation at all.

So should I try to push through winter or start again? I am rather new to this game
