Alex,

Sam Willis used celestial navigation on his trip down the Grand Canyon last summer. See link to BBC show that has Sam making observations using an artificial horizon.

Geoffrey Kolbe posted several years back on his North African desert celestial navigation using a bubble octant.

You would add this to the the question or this is a part of an answer?

Do you know any people traveling in remote wilderness (on land) who are
using Cel nav, or carry sextants, almanacs, etc.?

I have never heard of such people in modern times.

Alex.
