Now we need to figure out how to store service like a battery so we still have some even when were out of range.

This. I have no need for a cable. TC's method is good for computers without wireless, though.

i'm sure just by turning on network sharing on my phone i'm enabling hotspot so i guess that's the only way which would also require me to set a pw so randoms can't hook into my wifi.

Phone companies panicked all at once when customers took "unlimited data" to actually mean unlimited.
That's why tethering costs extra, if not disabled entirely.

Also if you haven't made payments for your internet and it keeps redirecting you to pay, tether your phone so that your computer has two internet connections and it bypasses it until they completely block your internet altogether.
