Hence my inclusion of "many cases", and my lack of absolute terms..
I'd file there, just like you. I typically fly around New England and
the Mid-Atlantic states, where radar and ATC comm coverage is very
good.
I'm in the southwest and fly a lot over mountains and desert where ATC
coverage is marginal at C-172 altitudes.
I also carry a survival bag with stuff for a couple of days.
