I almost always have my cell in my back pocket (except when I'm sitting down) partially for that reason. If I go out in the yard (almost 6 acres), I take my cell. I'd hate to have some issue, an accident with a chainsaw or something else, that made it hard for me to get back to the house and not have my cell. On the plus side, I've occasionally seen interesting stuff that I was able to photograph and share with the family afterwards.
