National parks balancing demands for cell service, silence

Like a lot of solo female travelers, I'm rarely willing to camp or noondock somewhere without cell service.

I grew up way out in the mountains. I know what local boys can be like when they've been drinking. I lucked out and have never been caught by a group of them, but I don't want to be in the future.

When I was younger and stronger I wouldn't have been concerned about cell service, but now I feel it is pretty essential for boondocking.

Cell service is prob not going to help you in remote areas. Perhaps a weapon and training is in order if you happen to live in a free state.
