The types of situations you name, camping in the High Sierra, having to
live in a survival situation eating food off the land, etc. leaves one
little choice but for an old am/fm/sw/??? type radio. Of course one
will remain with ones gold, food, blankets, tents, go-bags, etc.

However, with the coverage of some cell suppliers, I have been in some
pretty remote areas and still have net access ... it has surprised me
and I expect it to get only get better technology and hardware ...
although, by then, we may not have the money, resources, infrastructure,
etc. to implement the upgrades ...
