And your car tracks you as well.

The only way to be completely stealth is to carry zero technology and hope they aren't doing old school physical surveillance.
And even that doesn't work anymore because of satelite tech and everyone's house having cameras that feed into the cloud. Privacy is over. If you have a phone you are bugged 24/7/365.

You might also consider that any vehicle can develop a mechanical problem. Are you prepared to fix it yourself, no matter what it is? What if everyone else decides to just drive on by? They are not responsible for your welfare, eh?

No, they are not. I alone am responsible for everything I enjoy or suffer in life.

Define "fall ill". I'm never far from home, so if my car broke down, I'd walk home and call the auto club.

Some Wal-marts have hand sanitizer near cigarettes and only let you buy one. Ever so often Dollar Tree will get stuff in, but it goes very quickly.

Some Wal-marts have hand sanitizer near the canned air in the office supplies.

You make a good point. If you cannot find something, ask an employee. Sam's Club did not have dish washing liquid in with the household cleaning supplies the last time I needed some, but they did have it with the commercial products. It was not what I would have normally bought, but good enough for the office break room.

I don't have medical emergencies but I must admit I'm not a very good driver.

That's why I moved to L.A. We don't actually drive here. The cars are just placed on the freeway and you are assigned to go sit in one for 6 hours.

If you hide your phone under your tinfoil hat, they won't be able to track you. Or just live in a Faraday cage.
