4 day trek -how to charge batteries?

A friend mentioned a 4 day trek here in Bolivia following the remains of an ancient Inca trail. I was thinking that if I did such journey I would have to bring my PhseOne P25/Mamiya camera with me.

But... what to do about power? I have only 3 batteries for the back and they run out of juice too fast... the other way to do it is to power the back with the FireWere juice coming from my MacBookPro ...

Any ideas?

No electricity - sounds great. We've stayed a few times at a place with no power (and running stream water), and have always enjoyed it very much. The view is not quite as majestic however.

Sounds great but how does one charge the batteries for the camera and the portable hard disks to backup the gazillion pictures one can take there? lol

Cheers,

Oh, I have to get me one of these! I love going for walkabouts (though not had the time for a couple of years) - this would be absolutely perfect for me.
