I love reading all these posts. However, I am an old man. I finally gave in and got a cell phone. Really don’t like it that much because people can find me when I don’t want to be found. It is a bother for someone to call me while I am fishing.

I survived without one for 50 years. I think all the gadgets are great. Just not for me.

I think it is funny that people can not survive without these things.

God, I should have been born 150 years ago!

Blessings, bobo

Shoot BoBo you can send a picture of your catch to a buddy right after you reel it in. I have a friend that did this and then promptly dropped his phone in the water. I see your point BoBo

They can be life savers. Just turn the phone off when you’re not using it. You’ll have safety and privacy.

Mine has an off button.

You can also download a new program named "Leave the damn phone in the truck".

Both features work flawlessly.

You know you can turn off the ringer, or just not answer it. I generally don’t.

I’m getting older too, so I always carry my phone in the woods, never know when I may fall and break a leg, I can even give 911 my exact GPS coordinates. That and I listen to audiobooks on my phone when I’m walking.

My neighbor turned is mower over on himself a few years ago. Apparently he was trapped for hours before he died, he had no way to call for help. I’ve been carrying my phone with me ever since.
