How long can your portable really last?

I took my Bluetti on a camping trip near Estes Park and was honestly shocked at how long it stayed alive running lights, a mini fridge, and charging a couple phones. It made me wonder how long others have pushed their power stations before finally draining them. I always hear big claims from the brands, but real life use is usually a better measure. What’s the longest continuous run time you’ve managed on yours? I’m curious if anyone has pushed their Jackery or EcoFlow for an entire weekend without recharging. It would be helpful for planning winter trips since Colorado weather makes everything a little unpredictable.
 
Good to hear you got solid performance on that trip. These units can surprise people when the loads are steady and the temps stay reasonable. Real world numbers vary a lot depending on the appliances. Would you say your fridge ran continuously or cycled on and off through the night? That detail usually changes the final run time by a lot.
