how do I go below very easy ?
LMAO are you serious? What kind of armor and guns are you using? And the creatures in the DLCs actually level with you, so you should be safe enough in Honest Hearts. Also, if you are not playing in hardcoe mode (I wouldn't suggest that the first time around), then food has also healing properties. So, make sure you put some skill points in Survival. You can create healing powder and various healing food items on the fire pit. Plus, different food will increase the points it heals, if you level Survival.
And put points in medicine so that your stimpaks heal you better.
