Yes, I participated in a wilderness expedition in the early 2000s and didn't have access to internet, news, or modern amenities for about 100 days.

I lived more fully in the moment around me at times, and at others I receded into imagination and thought in almost a trance. The tangibility of reality became unavoidable for much of the day, and as a result of that when it was possible to recede and rest my mind, it was a deeper experience.
