    Trip tools

    OK all,
    I tried the search, but didn't find any threads on this.
    What tools do you recommend to take with you on a trip?
    I'm planning to take a small crescent wrench, needle-nose pliers, Channel lock pliers, Phillips and straight screw driver and duct tape.
    What size Allen wrenches should I take?
    Anything I'm missing?
    Thanks

    Good idea with the flashlight. I can wrap the duct tape around it to save space.

    I will look for a small air compressor.

    Can I suggest one more small item(s)? Some small and larger zip ties. Just a few. They take up no space and you would be surprised what you can use them for. That Honda is probably not going to need a wrench on it but other things might. I've used zip ties on my friend's brake linkage and another as a zipper pull on a jacket.

    +1 to zip ties.
    You can never have too many Mag Lites or Zip ties.

    And I realize most of us have one for EDC, but a nice sharp folding knife is always good to have.

    FWIW, I keep an LED headlamp on the bike so I can work hands free. They are small and light and come in handy. You can get them from sporting goods and climbing stores.

    Freakin' geeky as all hell, but I have one too!
    And, a 6x6 tarp, unless that's already part of your camping gear.

    For some reason, bad things always seem to happen at night, in the rain.
