tools you should carry?
Discussion
I've found the TOPEAK Survival Gearbox to be very inclusive and have carried one for years, it has a patch kit, tire irons and chain breaker and can be clipped to a seat post or tossed in a small bag. With it and a pump you can handle anything that can be repaired in the field.

I carry 2 tubes, repair kit, multitool with chain splitter, tyre leavers, bent piece of coat hanger to hold broken chain together when repairing, 3/4 links of old chain and some change wrapped in clingfilm
Never been stranded yet even when rear derailer was ripped off and chain snapped in the middle of the Lakes miles from anywhere.
