To begin with, I don't let my cellphone intrude on my life. So, I never feel the need to "get away" from it.I go hunting to get away from all that. I do carry my cell phone, completely turned off, just in case I need to call for help, but it stays in my pack otherwise.
If real world is so bothersome, a hunting trip may not help you.

Oooohhh....but it does help.
Ok, shortwave, you're are right,lol
You'd be surprised how many phones are actually "live" and listening for 'pings' when turned completely off, so long as the battery is still in it (some also require the sim card, if applicable). The amount of power needed to keep those circuits on is negligible and the battery can go for weeks without being seriously affected.Even where reception is bad your phone can sometimes be "pinged" to locate you. As long as it is left on. Turn off the ringer but not the phone.
I do carry the phone cause it has a camera on it and comes in handy for quick pics afield.
Comes in very handy when walking up to a trespasser and snapping his pic. before our conversation. This has proven to have been very effective in stopping repeat offender's.
