I guess with what little I know about the nature kind makes me think anyone planning to do it would know you can’t afford that extra weight. Also having no way to charge it without adding even more weight. From what I understand these people plan things down to the gram.
They do, but they also have lightweight solar panels they attach to backpacks, etc.
It doesn’t seem too unreasonable to save weight on everything else and bring a laptop for writing. A lot of thru hikers will be in town every few days for a “zero day” of 0 miles hiked, but did the laundry, repaired gear, bought groceries, charged the phone, etc.
But on the other hand you’d need to take a lot of time off from hiking to write to make it worth it.
