You do know know that he wasn't really talking about the wilderness, we live in a town of 15 people approximate but as it is near a desert, there is a huge mass of mobs which include NPC villagers. Ash doesn't usual go around hunting but is unfortunate to get killed many times due to glitches with villagers luring/getting the door destroyed. Ash doesn't use combat weapons so don't try and say that he grinds. He doesn't live in the wilderness, don't accuse people of such, please.[The high case of 'DON'T' and the use of 'You' makes it sound like you're targeting someone, be careful when using such, in addition it is incredibly hard and you won't earn much xp for combat anyways until the update]
Also, I think that we should be able to somehow rest whilst outside, maybe give the chairs a use so when you sit down it regens health slowly but it would give camps a use as the majority I stumble upon are not used and show signs of being abandoned, maybe I might stumble upon a fellow traveler if I were to rest in those chairs for some characters would rather sit than rest when by themselves' in the camps.
