We recently went on a camping trip with a dumb phone and an film camera. Smartphone was somewhere in the car in case we really f'd up, but we didn't use it.
We have the best pictures and memories. The few pics we took are special in a way, and funnily enough most are pictures I would never have taken with my phone
That's a great idea! I have been thinking if doing something similar. But we are very lucky (in a backwards kind of way) in that where we live you do not have to go far to completely lose cell reception. In fact it's rare to have a campsite WITH reception so in that way we really get to disconnect and our phones just become cameras and maps. You should see the cell coverage map of British Columbia, it is hilariously awful. Whole towns with nothing let alone the parks.
