Myles, (BTW, I just sent this to Tom on the mailing list)...
I carried an iPhone 5 ( 4.0 oz), Suntactics s5 solar charger ( 8.4 oz), 
and an Anker 3000mAh lipstick battery ( 2.7oz) along with the necessary 
cords and a 120v USB outlet for town. I initially started by plugging 
the cellphone directly into the solar charger which was attached on the 
top of my backpack. It was always plugged in and it charged while I was 
hiking throughout the day. This worked throughout sunny SoCal, but once 
I got into forests I found the best arrangement was to plug the battery 
into the solar charger all day and when I stopped to camp I would plug 
the battery into the cellphone.
