Yes. Also, if you're still really early in the game, getting a Survival skill of 25 or higher will allow you to turn every single Gecko Meat you find into Gecko Steak, filling up more hunger, and much more health.
The survival Skill is only worth worrying about on Hardcore mode, when food and water are actual concerns. One more thing, there are many wells in the wastes that you can hydrate yourself with, without conjuring up radiation. The first one you come too? Goodsprings Source. Because purified water can be hard to come by. And try to stick with guns rather than energy weapons. The ammo for energy weapons take up a lot of weight compared to simple bullets. You're doing yourself a big favor by forgetting about energy weapons in Hardcore mode. Also, if something takes up no weight whatsoever, grab it. If it has no use, sell it. Caps don't take up weight either.
