This website just deleted a bunch of my text when it told me to re-sign in again. I am not going to try to restore the whole list, I will just say that I remove the chain and the derailleur if I am packing a bike that has a removable derailleur hanger. The hanger is designed to be the weak link that prevents frame damage if the derailleur is hit. And I carry a spare hanger too. My other suggestions, not trying to restore them, sorry.
