Smartphones continually come and go. As with most technology, the second you leave a store with a new smartphone, the company is already working on replacing it with a new one. It's virtually obsolete as soon as you exit the store.
This leaves many of us questioning what we should do with an old smartphone once you've replaced it for the umpteenth time.
You may be that person who has a drawer or cabinet full of old phones from years past. Some people throw them out whereas others recycle their old phones or sell them.
While recycling is a wise decision, as a survivalist you may want to consider saving your smartphone and adding to your bug out bag for when the grid goes down.

And at the end discover an old smartphone prepper tip that can be life-saving if you're stuck out in the wilderness.
