Charging your phone in the backcountry?

[AlexGraham]

This year I plan on doing a backpack trip in the wilderness for elk, and need a better way to charge my phone than the goal zero charger that I have now which barely charges my phone once. Would like to be able to get 3+ charges if I could. So what does everyone use to charge their phone while hunting?

I took an Anker e7 26,800mah charger with me to CO. Worked great charging my iPhone and had plenty of power left over after a 7day hunt. Yes, it's a little heavy at 1# but I wanted to make sure I had power deep in the backcountry. I'm sure there's bigger and better but at $60 it worked great for me.

I have a New Trent that has worked well for me....it's the extreme I think.

This is what I use for my iPhone 5S. It weighs 5 oz. with the cord and will charge my phone about three times. I can't remember what it cost but I got it on Amazon and it was pretty cheap. I'm sure there's better ones out there but this has worked great for me for the past three years now, and I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.

Used the Anker this season. They seemed to work well.

X2... Anker is one of the best values out there.

I also use a portable charger. Just keep in mind that one your device is fully charged, you need to unplug it from the portable charger as many will continue to discharge the portable charger.

Mophie juice pack for me. Havent used it a ton but has worked perfectly everytime so far. Really well built, charges fairly fast amd charges phones quick. Havent purchased solar for it yet.

I use a solar panel that has worked great for me so far. Being in AZ I don't have to worry about many cloudy or sunless days.

Minty Boost AA battery charger. Take as much charge as you want in the form of AA's. There is a thread on here somewhere about them. Great little unit.
