“I’ve never been camping, but once my phone died and I looked up and saw a tree”

Many people are too busy looking on their phones to do anything else. “I’ve never been camping, but once my phone died and I looked up and saw a tree” is a jocular saying that has been shown on several images.
       
“I’ve never been camping, but once my phone died and I looked up and saw a tree” was posted on Twitter by “beth on vacation” on August 12, 2015. The tweet is no longer available, but a screen shot was made by iFunny in 2019.
