Looking for the best way to charge my iPhone on the Appalachian Trail.
Photography, Journal, Map, and Books.
Battery backups offer 1-2 charges before getting heavy. Do not want to carry a brick plug to charge a brick battery.
Would like to read iBooks on phone every evening.
Has anyone used hydrogen fuel cells on the Appalachian Trail?

C: Each charge takes a one time use "powerpuck", which you would also have to carry at 1.2 oz each. And dispose of.
D: The "powerpucks" cost $4 each.
It's a cute toy, but not practical for a thru hike.
I'm working on a way to charge cell phones using Snicker Bars. Problem is they never last long enough during the testing phase.
