I've done a little bit outdoor or IRL streaming on Twitch. I've used my iPhone on a tripod. It's doable but not as easy as at home on the PC. The battery will drain fast, so you'll need a back up battery, then you'll need to upgrade your data plan. I managed to get a good deal from my providers but it's like 5-10GB an hour depending on bit rate. It's also quite hard to keep with chat on a small screen but if you're riding you can ignore them. The main issue is the signal strength. In London it's fine but even here there are dead spots. Your stream will just cut out for your audience till you reconnect. If you're touring, I imagine you'll be going to places where the signal will be very poor.
Give it a try though as you already have a phone and Twitch is free.

I’ve been cycle touring for a little over a month. And I’m hoping to do it full-time.

After talking to a couple of forum people on a ride I’ve been interested in streaming what I’m doing on twitch.
Currently all I carry, tech wise, is an iPhone and a camera.
Can anyone help with guidance on what I’d need to live stream.
I do own an iPad that’s in storage but I could get it if it’s necessary. I’m happy to buy a GoPro or something.
I’m completely new to this stuff as you can tell.
Any help is greatly appreciated
