For me its not about being "cool" - its all about getting away from the daily grind and rediscovering mindfulness.I get everyone feels being off-grid is cool.
It is still very common to be without cell service West of the Rockies when outside of towns/cities or major roadways as we have vast areas with little to no population. The attached 4G/LTE coverage map demonstrates this; the green-ish areas without coverage are the "remote" areas that the overlanders, those that I know anyway, flock to. The ROI on placing infrastructure in vast "unpopulated" areas is just not there so "growth" has been slow.Yet reality is, most everywhere is getting covered.

Yes, exactly; leaving the rat race and all its entrapments far behind, only connecting with what is important. I do have a hobby room in the basement that lacks any adult supervision but it isn't all that important.For me its not about being "cool" - its all about getting away from the daily grind and rediscovering mindfulness.

Where I like to go (CA/NV/AZ/UT) camping/hiking mostly no cell service. I carry a Garmin Inreach Mini to update family of my status and for any emergency. I have Sirius/XM in my truck to keep me company while traveling and stay current with news. If you have cell service it means you are too close to civilization.Chime in and lets get a rough head count on how many travel/camp outside of cell service.
