Easier solution: faraday bags/pouches. Easy to use and very effective (the certified/tested ones), bonus being you can jump right back to the 21st century whenever you want by simply taking the phone out of the bag.
Battery seems to drain a bit faster while the phone is sitting there searching for a signal but outside of that it's still better than going to something like the pine phone or librem 5..
Put your phone in airplane mode when off grid (out in the woods for example) for the same reason. Battery lasts a lot longer when the phone isnt screaming it's poor little head off for towers that aren't there.
Love my faraday pouch. I also imagine someone looking at my little icon on a map, have it disappear only to reappear somewhere completely different 3 hours later.

Turn the damn thing off when you're not using it or not expecting calls
I don't even trust that!
That's cute. You think you can turn your phone off? No, it just looks off unless the battery is completely, totally dead.
Sure but in a faraday bag it'll burn less battery is the whole point
