Easier to climb a tree or find a clearing than hike 600 miles to the nearest cell tower, right?

Climbing a 100+ foot tree would probably not be advisable or possible in an emergency situation. There may not be a nearby clearing or you could be disoriented.

Likely the satphone is better, but there are still limits.

Why not? There are all kinds of Emergencies. Some trees are fairly easy to climb.
