You can always tell the people who aren't actually outdoors people with these comments.
You should have as many forms of communication as you possible with you in the outdoors.
This depends on your goals.
If the goal isn't "get hopelessly lost because you're not a ranger from Middle Earth like you thought and eventually perish in the wilds."
Then being able to have contact with other human beings in case of trouble is seriously important, as is telling trusted people where you're going and how long you might be.
Just block your boss's number or turn it off if that's the goal lol.
Unless this is one of those "running from the government" kinds of things lol.
Edit: Oh hey I remember you! Hi again! 👋 Lol
Choose your own adventure!
Yeah, having some sort of Sat phone, locator device, ham radio would be a good idea too.
I guess that works for people who only have the boss to avoid.
Sure, I mean I figure most people are probably online too much and could use with some time in nature, away from their screens but I make no judgement about it. If they think they can get cell service and want to take the net with you, by all means.
I’m sorry, I have a bad memory when it comes to who I interact with. But hello again, friend!
If your goal is to not die in the outdoors, you should take your phone.
That’s assuming you have cell service. Lots of outdoors places do not. Satphone / locator devices are a good idea though.
Better than nothing.
Sure, you can always use it to play solitare or as a light, compass, etc.
Phones are excellent for navigation, and there are multiple topo maps available that can be downloaded and used offline.
Paper maps and compass.
Even if your destination doesn't have signal, it will still be useful for part of the journey.
I do also have a PLB for this reason.
That’s what they’re called! Personal locator beacons. The name was escaping me.
Anyway, I just think people are little too dependent on phones and service. Different now a bit with the latest iphone allowing some sat e911 sms features. I rarely get service when I go out camping, personally.
