[pct-l] Cell Phone withdrawal

[David Thibault]

Food for thought as you are getting your gear lists together for your
upcoming thru hike -

Consider removing a 6 oz weigh that goes by the name of cell phone.
I know this may be a radical idea to some, but consider getting away from
the hustle and bustle of daily life and really leaving it ALL behind.
When else in your life can you disconnect for such a long period of time -
what an opportunity.
Also consider avoiding news outlets of any kind while on your trip.


And before the safety argument starts – most of the thru hikers of the PCT
never used a cell phone and they survived and thrived.

Of course if you want a cell phone - then bring one (HYOH) – but give it
some thought.
