A couple more things I came up with:
When running with a companion, what I like to do is dismiss him, and send him to the settlement nearest my destination, then immediatly recruit him. That way, if he dies, he will go to the last settlement you dismissed him to.
Also, I'm still struggling with me need to pick up every coffee cup and battered clipboard I find. I'm getting better at it, but even with deep pockets, I can only loot a fraction of what I want. What I have been doing is bringing along a companion, fill up his inventory with junk, and send him home when he is full, kicking in the Lone Wanderer perk.
Lastly: Berry Mentats are awesome in survival mode!
