I thought the point of back country hiking was to get away from technology and society.

Weight is of course a major consideration, but its not the primary reason im not bringing batteries on a hiking trip.

There is no particular point to a hike any more than there is a particular point to a ride in a car. Back country or any other.

A hike could be just the way to get to the camp, where you will spend 2 weeks primarily coding.
