    Stay inside your properly sized tent, tarp, or hammock at least 20 hours per day, for safety.

    Locale: North Woods. Far North.

    For maximum safety, hike on Mars or Titan to essentially eliminate the risk of bear attacks.

    If you stay home on the couch, and watch television you will not die or otherwise get injured out in the woods.  It is also a good way to avoid injury while doing Beach Body, or any other activity that might lead to death or injury.  For that matter going outside in general is probably a bad idea.  But one should not undertake any physical activity of any form including using sharpened instruments for food preparation and consumption also.  Then there are paper cuts to watch out for, those really hurt, so no usage of paper either.  Staples can be quite painful as well, so no stapling anything.  Finally never purchase nice dress shirts as they can be full of tiny pins and you might forget one leading to another painful injury.  Yea just stay on the couch.

    “Yea just stay on the couch.”

    And in a few months after many hours of web surfing and potato chip consumption when you have achieved the inevitable growth to the 400lb range you can begin a new career hacking the servers of various organizations. BPL beware!

    Hacking can be done while under 200 pounds. And easy enough from outdoors, often better.

    That’s all I’ll say :-)

    Bit of a walk, but this Yellowstone EMT discovered what is so dangerous outside that it terrifies even the grizzly bear, chapter 9 page 2:

    Starvation is the far more likely cause of death as leaving the couch to get the chips could easily lead to a nasty sip and fall injury.  And web surfing is out as you might trip on the computer cord, hit your head on the book shelf with books you don:t read leading to a fatal brain injury.  Just stay on the couch is the answer all the way.
