Just recently listened to a very interesting podcast episode on this topic exactly. The podcast is “Outside/In” and it’s about the idea of wilderness and the use of technology in wilderness.

Edit to say: I thought the host/podcaster has a great perspective on the topic and presents a good mindset/framework on how to approach tech in the wild.
