Cheap, outside, guerilla-style lighting

So for the indoor stuff, I have a load of cute little redcaps. These are enough to give me three point lighting and I'm properly happy.

However, when I am outdoors trying to light stuff, I cannot break the redcaps out. So for the close-range stuff (i.e. where I can get the camera closeup in static situations), I need something small, easy to carry etc... I can whip out and light with.

Then the larger element is going to be filming something on the move. For example, let's imagine I want to light someone on horseback over, say a 20 metre gallop.

Does anyone have any guerilla-style lighting suggestions I could use. Naturally, I'd prefer to hire a massive light but don't have that option.
 
20 metres, outdoor, portable, budget... sunlight and reflectors.

more expensive... generator and craftsman lights.remember that watts / 100 = amps (approximately, plus some circuit safety on a 110-120V circiut). Just move the decimal point 2 bips to the left.
