And it's a handy brick for building a sturdy house

Giving people what they ask for but not considering that no one will find the delivery appealing.

Huh, or we could just keep our regular phone and cart around a Goal Zero Yeti 3000 (https://www.goalzero.com/shop/portable-power/goal-zero-yeti-3000-lithium-portable-power-station-app/) (it comes on a handy cart but it weighs about 75 lbs total).  280,800 mAh, can power an electric fridge for 50ish hours and can be recharged from a briefcase solar panel.

Yes, I've been looking at this stuff for camping...

Also, a much more realistic choice would be the Sherpa 40 (https://www.goalzero.com/shop/sherpa-power-banks-and-accessories/sherpa-40-power-bank/) (12,000mAh, still smaller together with your phone than the Energizer monstrosity) or the Venture 70 (https://www.goalzero.com/shop/venture-power-banks-accessories/venture-70-power-bank-micromicro/) (17,700mAh, a little bigger but it's ruggedized and water-resistant like most phones nowadays).

The Sherpa or the Venture would allow you to still have a skinny phone when you want.
