Become an outlaw and start robbing people. To be an outlaw you should have a bounty on you at all times.

Bandit at Fat Ramp Camp

Find a bandit camp, kill the bandits and use it as your own camp. Atrene Camp is a good choice as it is deserted.
Eat a meal everyday, and make sure to get 5 hours sleep at least.
Attack travelers that you meet on the way, such as Alval Uvani.
Hunt for animals (Food). Although they are found in very few locations in the game, sheep are the ideal animal for a bandit to hunt, as it is illegal.
Befriend a highwayman (pay him the gold he asks for and kill Imperial Legionaries that pass by).
Steal horses.
Attack people in remote locations such as inns, villages, and Daedric shrines. For example, complete the Zero Visibility quest, located in Aleswell, and once everyone is visible again, kill them all. Once the quest is complete, none of them are non-killable due to quest importance. This suggestion is assuming that you have no problem with attaining a bounty, as this village is located right along a road where Imperial Legion horsemen patrol. There are several houses that you can use for shelter if you don't wish to sleep in camps. This would normally not suit the role of a bandit, but seeing as you killed the owners of the inn/houses, it would fit the role. (Note: If killing off an entire village does not seem to fit your role as a bandit, there is an Orc harvesting vegetables in the middle of the village whom you can kill. There is also another NPC wandering around, an Argonian named Sakeepa. He has a dog and uses a club, seemingly the village protector. If you would like, you can kill him as well.
Become friends with the Cammona Tong thugs at Walker Camp.
