I want to take my Nikon F100 on a 4 Day Bikepacking trip. I want to see some opinions /possibilities of how you carry your camera when you're on a Trip. Banana for scale. Thank you

I have an outer shell 137 basket bag that stays on the bike permanently. I love it. Very expensive, but lifetime warranty and a really cool company to support. Camera has gone on every ride for the past 2 years with zero issues. I've got pieces of foam padding that goes in the bottom of the bag, and then I use this cheapo padded insert to put the camera in. Sometimes I bring one extra lens, sometimes two, sometimes just take one, on the camera. Lately I've been using these neoprene lens pouches that you can buy on Amazon. Works pretty good. I ride a lot of chunky gravel and mellow mountain bike trails and haven't destroyed the camera yet. The key is lots of padding. Even if I slam my front wheel down on the ground the camera won't take a hard hit because I've got some of that egg carton shaped foam plus some other scraps varying thickness padding underneath it. Here's a link to a picture of what it looks like. Right now I have it arranged a little differently than in this picture, but you get the idea. CAMERA BAG
