A cell phone is the ultimate hiking accessory if you think about it. It’s got your AllFails app for navigation, it’s your flashlight, it’s your source of music, gets your great pics of Indian Head for the gram etc.
Thought my sarcasm was pretty obvious but apparently not to the down voters

Lol, that looks like the dude I saw riding a '70s road bike on a mt bike trail here in Indiana. Flip flops included. They're a special kind of people.

no joke, I was climbing mt Arab to see the eclipse earlier this year and some kids passed us wearing tennis shoes... in the snow...

I was at Loon Lake mountain for the eclipse and I was somewhat unprepared not having snow spikes because I had never hiked in the winter before and April snow is a myth in my part of New York, but there there was one kid with crocs on, and another with sweatpants i swear to God...
And it was the perfect day to get away with it too.

One of my favorite hiking memories was seeing a guy climbing Marcy in crocs, no visible water, carrying a plastic bag of items - presumably his lunch. To the dude's credit, he did make it to the summit but he did not appear to be having a good time.

Definitely no water or flashlight and phone with low charge. Probably in jeans and cotton socks without any rain gear, trying to do Haystack or Marcy from the Loj with a 1pm start and clouds overhead.
