Tape or rubber band your control stick forward so your charcater keeps running forward into a corner or wall.

And as WTFMan NH said, this is:

"Easiest to do this while doing the Indoorsman and Outdoorsman achievements since you can just run into a wall in a safe spot that leads to either of those."

I've tried taping my left analog stick and running into a corner - it never worked. It seems you have to keep moving WITHOUT running into a wall or a corner. At least that's my belief.

You'll eventually get this throughout the course of the game if you go along doing the case files or side scoops, or even running around scrounging for weapons and/or food.

If you get this achievement by doing what Blackflame0729 suggested in his solution, mor epower to you, I'm just putting in my 2 cents here.
