Just to see who carries what.

2 tire levers

5mm and 8mm allen wrench
4 self adhesive tire patches (Scabs)
small pair of pliers
small screwdriver
2 screws for cleats
money (5 dollar bills)
Not a lot but these things have got be out of tight spots in the past.

I'm in Tennesse as well, Rick. Why those idiotic self-adhesive patches?
Get some Remas or similar and you can patch the tube and be done with
it. Self-adhesives are the dumbest thing since they came out with
"Cornflakes with Xtra Tacks!"

So:

Real patches in a box wrapped with some duct tape (in case of terror!)
folding hex wrench set
3 zip ties
spoke wrench
2 spokes
phone
1 lever 'cause I don't buy tires, like contis, that requre poopin my
pants to mount

That's in my hydration pack, btw, and the spokes are just because I
broke my first in a decade, they're voodoo charms is all.
