| Yes, far more than the average person - vehicle, car camping, backcountry, kayak, etc. I take my phone as a camera (still/video), for an extra map option with GPS, and for reading e-books or editing photos at night in the tent. |

| Many people take their phone with them when camping. Even if there's some desire to "disconnect" (which not everyone has), people still want 1) a device for emergency calls, 2) a camera, and 3) a map. |

| I try and do some kind of camping once a month and always have my phone. Typically it's in airplane mode and gets used for photos, maps, ebooks. |

| ▲ | ethbr1 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Yes. And it stays in the tent. InReach mini comes with. Being connected to the internet or digital media is the last fucking thing I want when I'm in the woods. | | |
| ▲ | jama211 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Well done, your self congratulatory prize will be in the mail. | | |
| ▲ | ethbr1 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm honestly asking... doesn't the presence of internet access distract from appreciating nature, for you? | | |
| ▲ | jama211 a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I was overly snarky, I apologise. Personally I don’t go camping and therefore cant really comment. | |
| ▲ | flkenosad 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Honestly, no. It enhances it. It's just a tool. Like do you bring a flashlight camping? |

| Speaking for myself, that costs money and time, neither of which I have. |
