>>203230Yeah, I'm not trying to be an asshole saying that people's methods are stupid, but I completely disagree with bringing computers and radios on outdoor trips. Of course it depends on what you mean. Obviously there's nothing wrong with bringing radios and stuff if your just going camping for the weekend and just want to chill with friends, but longer serious expeditions the idea of bringing a laptop honestly disgusts me.
And yes I tell people where I'm going, how does that relate to not bringing electronics? Because I'll get stuck out there and die otherwise? If I knew that at any point I could pull out my satellite phone and call for help that would change the entire experience.
