As Motion points out if you go out in the wilderness there are a lot of critters that can/will eat you, bears, mountain lions, wolfs.
And lets not forget poisonous snakes/spiders/scorpions that can mess up your day.
If you are afraid of the wilderness... don't go there.
I hike the central coast... mountain lions and rattle snakes are common... one time I came across a pile of mountain lion scat... kept walking saying "mountain lions are nocturnal... mountain lions are nocturnal..."

They may be but the one we saw back in the 80s out bow hunting was in the middle of the morning. Two weeks later we saw her and her kit during gun deer season in broad daylight. Of course the Wisconsin DNR had to tell us that the ten in our group did not see one because they do not live in Wisconsin. Later they saw them on game cameras when the cameras started to become affordable. We have black bear as well as wolves and coyote but the 'yotes stay away from humans pretty well, even when you step on one they run away.
