Re: Came out of the woods

When you're out of the woods, you've passed the "danger" (or diffficult) point.

"Just three more exams and I'll be out of the woods."

Re: Came out of the woods

Came out of the woods is different from I'll be out of the woods.

Means surprised.

Like a bear comes out when you are not expecting it.
