I would skip wolf armor to add more difficulty, but better food is a must. Try raiding smaller village for flax and barley so you can make padded armor and better foods as soon as possible. If you have tamed wolves use them as tanks. But please focus on food. The food you use is too weak for plains.
And consider making a lot of poison bombs. They work pretty good against groups of fulings and wolves too if you get “you are being hunted event”.
