My Grandad was one of the first Sierra Club members. I remember people always worrying about him when he'd trailer his horse, Smokey, and go off alone, solo, on horseback for weeks in the Sierras.
I also remember his only concern with civilization, was, not for my grandmother, but the fact that while deep into the Sierras, his transistor radio would have poor to no reception of his beloved baseball games!

Thanks for the links.
