One tube, one patch kit, 5mm wrench, pin driver (chain repair tool), and extra link such as https://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/sram-9-speed-power-link?adl=1&utm_campaign=products&utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&gclid=CK_s2ZXK4M4CFQxrfgod56wKGg

I hunt several areas and one offers convenient bike access. Before the season begins, I like to stash a bike trailer along with a kit for dealing with the animal if I score (tarp, game bags, etc.).

This. Took a few spills when I really wished the weapon was not on the handle bars. Besides spills, that also subjects your weapon to severe vibration and rattling. Not good imo. I like my gun or bow strapped securely on my back. Your body is a great shock absorber.

 Need something for flats. Something to tighten anything that comes loose. Chain breaker came in handy 1 time I broke a deraileur and rode in with a 21 speed and rode out with a 1 speed.

Can't see dragging a trailer. I like to stash it in a convenient spot, even if I have to go back aways. Makes 1 trip out with an elk possible.

I run tubeless tires, Schwalbes.  I carry two tubes and a patch kit.  CO2 and a pump.  Chain breaker and a quick link.  Assorted allen wrenches.
