I was looking into getting a software defined radio (SDR) and hooking
that up to my mobile phone.

Antennae were mentioned earlier. That's an important topic to
understand.
Some other thoughts:
A mobile phone has all sorts of emergency uses (gps, compass, SOS
alarms), so it would then be the focus. For the radio and phone you
could use a power bank built with your own separate 21700 cells.
Each of the cells could also be made to be a a charge/bank battery on
its own. This one does that and also has a simple clip-on light for
use as a basic lantern:

There are other doodads these guys sell. This is a highly recommended
brand.

Do not just randomly buy batteries from aliexpress or wherever, they are
not all created equal.
Don't forget to:
- Put reflective tape on everything, including parts that separate like
battery covers.
- Have three shirt+socks+underwear rolls. :)
Also consider a little flashlight that has a "deep clip" so it can be
secured to a hat brim. Also pack a hat!
