How to deal with massive digital memory requirements while overseas

I'm headed to Macedonia where I would like to film a documentary about a woman I know and love who lives there. The only camera I have is my iPhone. I don't know how much footage I'll take but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 100 hours or more. How do I deal with the memory requirements of this task?

Has anyone done anything like this before? My iPhone is 64gb. I could wipe it basically clean before leaving. But my understanding is that 64gb will get me about 4 hours of video in 1080p and maybe half that in 4k.

Is the best solution to just haul around external hard drives? Can I move video directly from my iPhone to an external hard drive? Or do I have to go through a laptop first?

Also, this makes me nervous because what if something happens to the hard drives? The cloud is not an option. In previous trips I've had pretty weak internet in most places.

I guess my question is this: What is best practice for a project like this? If anyone has experience or recommendations, I would really love to hear about them. Thank you!
