“out of cell range” is not a great measure for deep nature imo. On the California coast, for example, you can lose cell range without even leaving the road.
And in the Alps, you have areas with so many tourists the path is affectionally called a highway, but it would take 2 hours of hiking to get into cell range because mountains block signals.
I think it depends more on how many people you’re likely to meet per hour than cell range.
- bombcar 4y agoTrue, but "out of cell range" is a helpful indicator; if you're in cell range you can call for help. There are places out of range that are perfectly safe (due to people passing by) and there are places in cell range that I'd be worried to travel without others; but as a rule of thumb I think it works. This also goes for driving - especially in winter! Do not leave the commonly travelled roads if you don't know what you're doing! A stuck car gets freezing cold quite fast in many places.
