That's a mindset that has nothing to do with
technology.

            That simply isn't true. That deep wilds mindset is night and day 
different when carrying a cell phone. The routine and sense of that routine 
are two totally separate things. There is one set of behaviors with and one set 
without.

          But you are missing the point here. The Trail is surrounded by 
nearby development and civilization. It takes a little extra to impose the 
designed wilderness experience the Trail seeks. Every single one of the pro-cell 
phone positions ignores this obvious reality. 

           It's more than obvious we are talking about a Trail majority that 
doesn't really care if the Trail has a wilderness ethic...
