It's not super light but get a decent USB-C PD cable and you could pack it into a backpack and use it for a decent while without charging.
I just ordered one of these, supposed to do 300W(600 peak watts) and has a notably larger battery than a small power pack. I think the amps can be sustained for up to 4 meters (with only USB2.0 speeds but the current will carry) so you could operate it from a pack if you couldn't seat it on the table.
The model is a Jackery Explorer 300 - there were discounts for prime day. Could post a link but I don't want to come across as some kind of shill.
Good luck!
That Jackery battery seems interesting though a bit big for my plan to have a power bank in my portable tech tool box. At that size I would also want a solar power charge controller; though I would probably want that and the 220v inverter as plug-ins to keep the size smaller should I want a larger portable system and that would again lead me to a DIY solution I think. That big I would probably want to move on and build an add-on to a removable(I have not investigated electrical personal locomotion battery standards at all) E-bicycle battery cartridge.
The 600watts is pretty extreme over a USB cable, maxxed at 20v that is 30amps though those tiny USB-C cable wires and connectors!!
