Sure - my FT-891 is paired up to a MAT-125E automatic tuner and strapped together with Velcro wrap. The batteries are two TalentCell 12V 6Ah LiFePO4 packs in parallel. I picked the batteries because they were the only package thin and wide/tall enough to fit into the outer pouch on my bag there.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSW2S7YH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. The two batteries only output 5a each, so I keep the radio at 20 watts to keep max amp draw under 10 amps. I got the bag from Buccies. I also keep about 15ft of coax, and a 9:1 balun with an alligator clip on the center and a ~12ft counterpoise. I can clip to just about any large structure and get a signal out. My favorite is shopping cart corals or light poles in parking lots. These are grounded structures though so the efficiency is limited to say the least. But they DO WORK as antennas! Let me know what other questions you have for me, I’m happy to share information about my kit, or take feedback to improve it.
