Portable Power Options

[Jape]

Heading to Alaska in August for a couple weeks on a dall sheep hunt and would love to hear of experience with various solar/power pack combos that have worked well. I'm looking at the Goal Zero Nomad 10 with Venture 30 so that I have something light and easy with the backup ability to use the power bank if it's cloudy.

I will be powering my cell phone, camera, and GPS. My use of the cell phone and GPS will be relatively minimal (sending a couple text messages per day to family and taking some pics - although I have thought about downloading some books....). I think my use of the camera will be more extensive since I will be using it to take video. Do you think the Goal Zero combo is enough for everything? Maybe I should get a different camera/camcorder that has removable batteries?

Glad you asked that question, wanting to know the same thing. How much does that kit weigh, btw?

Just over a pound and a half, so real reasonable.
