@@SassaFrass28 That is definitely not true at all. While animals and accidents might be a danger in remote areas, you are let likely to have trouble with any humans there than anywhere else. And that is not just because there are less humans to cause trouble but because the humans out there are much less likely to be the kind of person to cause trouble. The kind of people who attack random people are disturbed individuals who would not have the resources and intellect to be able to survive in those remote areas.
