Just leave your phone at home.
We’ve been conditioned to always have our cell phone with us. Can’t get along without it. We’ve been conditioned or forced to get the latest phone where the battery can no longer be removed, and thus no longer able to completely power down the phone. Tracking is insidious as much is now done by corporations.
Might be better to go back to analog radio like CB if you want to communicate and travel short distances without being tracked like a rare animal with a locator.
We are like the frog in a gradually heated pan of water where our rights and privacy and what we always took for granted are being taken, and we accept it because it is gradual.
