I wanted to bring a phone along with me on my 1 month section hike from harpers ferry on north. so how do I charge my phone? Solar panels can be heavy or some don't even work. There is not that much sun in parts of the a.t. Should I just not bring a phone? maybe bring the home charger and charge when I'm in a town. Don't really know what to do about this and have not heard a lot of people talking about this type of problem. Weight is my biggest concern other that the gadget actually charging my phone at least once every 2 days, also price is a factor(sorry not rich). If anyone has a solution or ideas please let me know ..thanks peepz
