I used to watch The Hated One, who has also made similar recommendations for strikes. He has suggested the use of Briar, as it can fallback to Bluetooth connectivity.

However, I mostly wanted to point out that burner phones is not the answer for everyone. People need to be familiar with their local laws to stay safe.

Isn't Bluetooth a bad idea because it's bouncing off nearby phones and reporting your position?

Honestly, I think it's best to put it (preferable a burner phone and not your everyday phone) in a faraday bag and don't use it unless absolutely necessary and if you want to take photos/video, buy a 2000s era digicam from eBay.
