Plan to live out my back pack and tent while trekking for a few weeks across West Australia. Need something to rely on that can last me as long as possible as I travel between powered camping spots, being West Aust it can be few and far between with the scale of land so needs to be able to carry with 1 hand while balancing out with being reliable enough to charge as many components for as long as possible allowing me to avoid paying for camp sites or give me enough time to track one down. Thanks!
You might look into a power bank and a smaller solar panel you can hang from your pack to recharge the bank on the move or deploy when you set up camp.
This sounds like you’re going to be limited by weight, so I would suggest determining how much weight you’re willing to carry for it, and work backwards from that. You would also probably benefit from calculating out the power requirements for each device, so you know you have x amount of usage lasting y number of days, requiring z amount of power to bring everything back to a full charge. A 5,000 mAh battery isn’t really going to do much if you are trying to charge an apple tablet with an internal battery twice that size.
If you have access to sunlight frequently, and weight is going to be the issue, I would probably go with a larger solar panel, and a smaller battery. I have a 60 Watt foldable solar panel with multiple power adapters and 2 USB ports, which weighs a couple pounds. I can prop up on the ground or hang from my backpack to charge items directly, or charge a battery pack. Since it does 5v USB and 18v DC, it can also charge power stations and other items direct.
go for an anker unit. they actually live up to the listed mah capacity.

I have the anker solix c300dc and it works very well!
