>>1223535I consider it common sense to bring a phone with me. I just keep it on hand but don't use it though. That way if something happens to myself I can use it to call for help. Or if something happens to a friend or family member I can be reached.
While it's nice to be cut off and not be bothered by the outside world, realistically, the phone acts as a means of ensuring that if something happens to me, I can at least be found easily.
