I generally make sure my house is locked at night and lock my car while driving. I wouldn't do something like go running at night. Too dangerous in general and even if I defended myself successfully, it's a whole slew of medical bills if I'm hurt enough to where I have to go to the hospital and or legal fees if it has to go to court. Better to just in the daylight when it's safe. Some of the stuff on the list is good safety in general. The woods can be dangerous and using headphones while jogging cuts off your sense of hearing. You need that to know if you have someone approaching you you can't see but hear.
