I think that it's a bad trade-off. A cell phone is a literal lifeline.


Cell phones are a crutch. Us real hikers/backpackers/outdoorians don't need such hand holding as "doing it on easy mode". You look danger in the face and call for help, I look danger in in the face and I say "you ready?". We are not the same.


Why do you need to ask if you're ready? You should always be ready. Not being ready is a sign of weakness. We are not the same.
