Default What do you guys carry in your trail pack?

I know this has been covered in other forums quite a bit, but I didn't see a thread here on it and didn't come up with much doing a search.

I'm always curious what others carry. I'm fairly minimalist, but I do carry a small medic kit with a flint steal and space blankets, glow sticks, quick clot... Etc.

For tools I carry the basic few wrenches and allens. I run Tubliss so I carry a tire plug kit. Small flash light, leatherman, a few levers, a shifter, etc. Most of my rides don't see more miles than a tank of gas can get me.

If there is more interest, I wouldn't mind laying stuff out and taking pics to share.

So what does everyone carry?

I don't have an itemized list, but it's fairly comprehensive. I still haven't convinced anyone to let me open a suture kit...and sew them up

my dad has a fancy tool kit that is bolted to the rear fender of his drz250 witch he carries every tool you could need. we both have hydration packs. and depending how long the ride is we have some snacks.

I carry a spare spark plug for my bike, some duct tape and a sharp knife.

sometimes we will ride with people who will carry some first aid.

I would say the same, except finding a group or rider who needs a simple band-aid fix...and collectively they don't have the tools on hand. I don't carry tools during a race(every man for himself...except for injuries).

I carry these items too. I've even stitched a friends boot back together with safety wire.

I've been lost out in the desert after dark and while I was able to find my way back, I was happy knowing I had enough gear to safely stay the night out there if I had too.

I even carry a few vegan energy bars because I know that since they are so gross I'll never eat them unless it's an emergency.
