heh ... "I can easily sprain my ankle while hike; that is unlikely to occur while sitting on the back porch." - quite true - but my last bad sprain happened on my front porch (kid left a baseball sized rock sitting there, I stepped on it in the dark, wrenched my ankle and fell off the porch).

That said, being prepared for unforseen events on the trail is not trivial. The better prepared you are (mentally and physically) the lower the chances are for getting INTO a "survival" situation and, if circumstance forces you into one, the better your odds are of coming out alive.
