I'm going on a 2 night camping trike packing trip with some friends. We are riding to a county park just for fun. I've decided to use this opportunity to go over my gear and pack as if I'll be going on my next tour to Colombia/Ecuador. This video is walk around the trike . Thanks for watching!

I had many caps and consistently chose the most comfortable one. Go with the comfortable one. You won't regret it. I had to remove the riveted button from the crown. It did not fall apart doing that. I recently bought an add on brim, and rain cover for my helmet.

Yellow. Also, I know that you said that you have puncture with you. I was wondering though if you had new tires along, at least one for each wheel. Maybe hang them from a bungee cord across the back of your seat. Maybe use one of those bungee nets to hold onto them.

Thanks for commenting, Me Myself! I have never needed extra tires. I use Marathon Plus tires with Schwalbe tubes - this is a very durable combination. On average, I get one flat every 18 months. I do carry flat repair stuff and fix the puncture when it happens. If I was touring for more than 6 months I might consider taking a spare.

Good job, My setup is almost exactly as your is set up. If I could add a picture I would, the only thing I have different is, on the top of the rack I place a $2.99 orange ammo box I purchased from Harbor Freight. It is just bungee corded onto the rack with two straps and is very secure. I place the most important items that I will need quick access to for repair my trike, tubes, levers, spare cables, CO2 system, Allen wrenches, wrenches, patch kit. I can have it disconnected within seconds, open and using equipment and back onto the trike in seconds. I still pile the rain gear and dirty laundry on top of it and secure it with a very small cargo net.

I’m late to the party but I vote blue. Just a quick question but do you have a link for the panniers? I’m getting an ICE Trike Adventure HD early next year and you have inspired me to get out and travel, not just exercise! I will admit that watching your video on why ride a recumbent trike is the main reason I got myself to a recumbent stockist to try them out. I have a chronic health condition that is slowly robbing me of my independence and a trike is the best thing I’ve found to turn that around. So thank you for your videos. Xx

@travelsbytrike thank you so much for getting back to me. I wasn’t expecting such a quick response as I know you are traveling at the moment. I’ll check the panniers out though. I just like the longer length ones like yours in comparison to all the short ones I’ve seen here in Australia. I also love your idea of keeping all your camping stuff in one and your clothes etc in the other. I’m obviously only just starting out but I’m happy to take all suggestions on board. Happy travels. X

Regarding the hat, Australians use a kind of strap-on brim that turns the it cycling helmet into a cowboy hat. Because ausrralian law forces them to wear helmets. I don't know where they get them from. I normally wear just a baseball cap but it doesn't protect your ears and neck from the sun.

Thanks for following along. Yes, I can do a video going more in depth of what I carry. Aside from the panniers, I keep my trike clean. I use a Terracycle fastback bag to hold a 3 liter Platypus bladder that attaches to the back of my mesh seat. It's best to only fill the bag to 2 liters of water. Any more and getting it to fit and zip up is harder. Don't put anything other than water is a bladder otherwise bacteria is grow.

Sylvia, I notice you perfer the foot strap, the heel sling seems more fool proof. What feed back can u give me on that subject. I am just thinking of getting a trike, I did 900 miles last summer, up in Alaska(Denali Hwy an such) on my bike. Want to avoid butt hurt, but leg suck sounds worse. I towed a kid buggy as it was all camping with stores few a far. I liked ur talk (different vid) on being able to go slow an not worry about falling over, as I did do quite a bit of walking an pushing (a heavy load, i had). Thanks

Awesome! In the past (distant) I've been on many Bicycle Rides Across Georgia (Brag), a couple of Bicycle Rides Across Tennessee (Brat), and a number of bicycle rides around Florida. All had trucks that hauled our camping gear from site to site, and well staffed and stocked rest stops every 10-15 miles. The most I ever carried on my bike was a walkman, a couple of small battery powered speakers and a bunch of Jimmy Buffett tapes. Happy trails and keep on pedaling ;-)

Another great informative video. It’s always good to practice before actual event. I used to go camping where we would hike out into the woods and I would always practice in my back yard setting up tents as fast&dry as possible. Always packed an emergency canopy at the top of my backpack in case we arrived at our rainy location. For sun protection on bike helmet go to dabrim.com they have big brims that fit over your regular helmets and covers front&back.
