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 ...

Hard to "Track" you with an old AM/FM/SW Radio
but they could easily 'ping' your location when
you use your Cellphone.
