Your wants are not out of reach, they are just expensive, but it can be done.....

For internet while backpacking, try a web enabled phone that lets you connect your pc, another link with some ideas for this.....As for the phone idea, if your really away from civilization, get a satellite phone....spendy but it works...

Answer 2

sorry to tell you that there really isn't anything that you can do. Battery life is dismal to say the least especially if you're a person like yourself who likes life away from the everyday. So if you want a network than I suggest you get yourself a wireless card from the cell phone providers like sprint/verizon. But still I can't be a 100% positive that'll it'll work where you go.
I wish I had a better answer for you but as of right now there really isn't one. Unless you can find some solar recharging laptop batteries.
But in all seriousness the two things that you want aren't meant to be together, your on different ends of the spectrum. It's like oil and water, its just not going to work.
