FWIW, on my outback Australia self-supported tours I carried lots of tools and parts - including spoke wrenches and spokes (needed by the bike shop in Katherine, NT in August 2006). The Park chain "link breaker" tool was heavy, but a god-send, not just for me but for several tourers I met with a busted chain. Oh, chain links too.
Better to have and not need, than to need and be SOL 🤪
