Closely followed by my leatherman, cable ties and gaffa tape.

Oh, Petzl E-lite too. A great little headtorch for emergency situations (running out of fuel on the A3 last counts as such

Leatherman, card, tie wraps, ear plugs and a hipflask of whiskey :)

Keep trying beer but after many repeat attempts I can confirm it doesn't go well with green lanes.

Although, I've recently extended my standard tool kit to include tire irons, puncture repair kit, a couple sockets, pump in addition to my stock tools.
