They were hiding behind a kitchen cabinet. Since you&#8217;re less likely to carry one of those with you while hiking in the forest, you can jump behind a tree instead. If you&#8217;re out on a field an no tree is available, a hunter once told me, you&#8217;re supposed to try to jump over an attacking wild boar. Honestly, I&#8217;m as sceptic as you that this could actually work.
