I think (but I'm not sure) they only do a chain stitch. It would put a lot of bulk on the back of the fabric and also would not be very strong. I have an old hand crank Singer that was the first portable sewing machine made. You should see if you could find one of those hanging around on e bay or somewhere. I tell my DDIL that she can take it camping with her. (She DOES NOT sew!) I also think you would have to take a truckload of batteries with you.
