crockett Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I have an increasing desire to unplug from tech. I miss those times when you would go see a friend without having to call first. Time being spend in the outdoors without being interrupted by the wife, chinking in every other hour via text. Or going to places without needing Google maps on the phone. Or playing a bunch of computer games on a C64 with friends, in the same room, and not over the internet. I miss camping, exploring a town on foot, being able to go to places without any masks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Indeed. I remember “party line “ phones, rotary dial at that, and maybe a 6 foot cord. Black and white tv. I could hunt or fish about anyplace I could walk to. Leave in the morning, be back before dark. Everyone knew everyone else in the community. Unless you had to prime tobacco, get up hay, cut and split wood…….. It was quieter and a much better world then. Having said that, it’s nice to be able to call a tow truck if you have car trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I want to get away, TV and internot. are the lowest things on my list of necessities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Ugh. I hate tv even in the house with no cable. Not gonna take it with me on vacation. And if I have cell service, I obviously haven't gone far enough to escape civilization. Freeze dried backpacker meals taste good when you've just hiked 10-12 miles, and while I like my booze, I'd rather have a lighter pack and just take my water filter. I DO appreciate good weather, though my definition of good is pretty much "above freezing and not raining/snowing heavily" - I guess I have become a hermit at heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 My grandson was quite surprised recently when he visited and discovered me actually watching tv for the first time in years. Cell coverage around here is spotty. The moment you leave the road system, and often even while on it, the coverage is gone. It's still the Wild West out there. Best to be thinking about that when you leave the comforts of home behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most tech i would bring with me is a book. Maybe an electronic book. We don't have a TV. The internet has been a requirement for school, university and work. However, if i didn't have to worry about that stuff. POOF...good bye internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 If there's no cell reception, we can start looking for a place to camp. Coleman lantern and stove if there's a group. (electric lanterns suck your soul out) A candle lantern (or kerosene) and fire if it's just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
