No one can give you a correct answer without specifics.
You need a solar panel A diode unless in converter A charge controller And a battery
Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present (rip my friend)

Also need to know watt usage and time for each appliance. Amount of time for charging each day for sizing.

Another consideration is the type of battery to charge. Lithium takes a different charger, if that’s what your using or plan to.

Osky And if you go lithium (and you should) be sure to get LiFePo4. They are FAR safer. Regular lithium ion batteries are known to have fire risks, especially when using reconditioned batteries or the wrong charger.

You will need a solar panel and MPPT charge controller. Panel size will depend on battery watt hour rating. Check out Will Prowse on Youtube, he has videos on putting together small systems. He is VERY good. Will knows his stuff that’s for sure. I would suggest watching his videos also.

Cloleman lanterns are simple reliable devices. No point in camping till fur season opens again any way. Then you just need a wood burning stove. Another easy to use simple device

Another easy to use simple device But, they need fuel too. If you really put some thought into it, it's not that different than charging a battery to run a light. Both use fuel and both need to be refueled. The nice part about lithium batteries is they can be charged by the sun. Coleman lanterns...well, not so much.

The hoots here use the electric fencer panels on the dashboards.
