Good morning everyone!
Just this morning as I was getting into my truck to drive to work, I dropped my cell phone into a huge snow drift. It's now totally dead which isn't a huge deal as it was very old and ready to be exchanged basically anytime. However, I was planning on bringing my phone on my camino in January. I could just buy a new phone, but before I rush into that I thought I should ask...
How risky is it to walk the camino with no cell phone?
I am a young guy, fit, healthy, not accident prone and I have a good guide book. Is it reasonable to think I could just ditch the cell phone entirely and go on a phone-free camino?
I am not too worried about needing a phone for emergencies (although maybe I should be), my main concern is alburges being closed during the winter season and ending up being stranded somewhere with no roof over my head and no phone to call other lodgings. Is this a valid concern or could one get by on a winter camino with no cell phone.
