If your handset, you can build one line I had on my van with a 50w panel and 20A solar charger, all the wiring and ports, and I had an 18aH battery for only about $100.
I got one of these a while ago and its awesome to have around (Anker 20k, I believe). Travelling, power outages, camping, hunting, whatever. Just nice to have a power source around.

One simple thing lots of people miss is just have your phone charging when you're not using it. Like driving or eating dinner. Having a fully charged phone when things go south unexpectedly is huge.
