Costco sells a 2 pack of pocket juice chargers for like 20 bucks. Go pick one of those up and take both with you. Each one will give you 3 charges on the average phone. Also worth mentioning I did 3 days in the backcountry last week using my inreach mini and phone with only Bluetooth on. I went in around 80% charge on my phone and came out around 70%. I only checked it when we stopped to see how far we were from the backcountry campgrounds, to send check in messages, and check the weather. If your not going to use your phone a ton, and turn it off while your walking, one charge would probably do you for your whole trip.

Edit: Also want to add to make sure you take good topo maps and a compass with you. I only say this because you said you want to use the maps on the ihunter app. The minimum for a topomap Id recommend is the BRMB, although if you can find a fold up water proof one those are the best. You should also look at GAIA GPS app which is like 25 bucks a year for the subscription. Good investment if you plan to do a bunch of trips.
