The idea is cool, but I’m not sure I’d want one when the battery gave out. Then it becomes just weight.

They’d have to allow me to switch out the batter a few times on every trip in order for it to be useable.

I think they’re only 4 or 5 lbs.

It weighs about 5 pounds. I imagine you could pack a battery or two.

I think the bigger issue is “long haul” hiking. I don’t think there are chargers on the Appalachian Trail.
