I carry my hydration pack, cell phone, chain tool, extra SRAM powerlink, spare tube, mini inflator, multitool with allen wrenches, and usually my GoPro with a couple mounts. I started carrying the powerlink and chain tool after busting a couple derailleurs and having to single speed it back in..otherwise I would have been hoofing it 7 miles on Thunder Mountain in Red Canyon. Not fun.

Do any of you carry a Knife and fire starters/ survival stuff? First aid? Emergency blanket and such? Butter fly bandages?
If you want to ride let's ride and if you want an attitude well we just need to do some more ridding.

I usually have my little gerber knife. Typically the trails are at most 15 miles or less for a quick after work ride or even a Sat ride so the likely hood of being stuck out there and spending the night is pretty slim. When I do ride by myself I tell someone exactly what trail I am on, direction I am riding and time I should be back, if I am not back you had better be on your way to find me because if I can't walk out or call there is more wrong then any first aid or emergency blanket could fix. And like I said still thinking about that small first aid kit. Maybe this year will be the first time I finally put one in my pack.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes....(how many yesses was that...?)
I carry a small Gerber knife, firestarter with waterproof matches. Both very small and don't really weigh much.
I have a first aid kit with bandaids and the usual small stuff (I highly recommend small, sharp tweezers as well). My butterfly bandaids in there have come in handy twice in the last two years. My leftover Lortab and lots of Ibuprofin have come in handy as well.
I also used my emergency blanket for a downed rider last fall while we were waiting for S&R.
Bottom line for me is that I would much rather be over-prepared than under-prepared. All of the above mentioned stuff weighs hardly anything. You put it in the bottom of your hydration pack and forget about it until you need it. My S&R experience last year prompted me to add an ACE bandage as well as a couple of decent sized sterile guaze pads. Depending on your level of caution, a pair of rubber gloves wouldn't be a terrible idea either.

I carry a crowbar sometimes when I feel like Mark is going to fall over and needs help getting out of his clipless pedals
