Greg, at a start, I’d say a really good multi-tool, pump, spare tube, patch kit in case of multiple flats, rain jacket no matter how good the weather looks, water purification tablets, lighter and/or waterproof matches, small headlamp (Petzl makes a tiny one that takes one of those nickle-sized batteries), some zipties, a quick-link chain, and a small first aid kit… Also, a map and/ or GPS (the free CBG Trails app works well on your phone- or better yet, Gaia) and maybe a personal locator beacon if you’re going on very remote/ less traveled trail…

PS- Drop me a line the next time you visit- happy to brainstorm in person over a coffee or beer 🙂

Thanks for your comment Greg! We have not covered that in a past post, and it’s something we’ve actually been talking about ourselves. So, I think we’ll probably have a post about it soon 🙂 Thanks!
