I'm packing for a quick trip to the Gulf Islands next weekend and I snapped a picture of my field repair kit to share with the students in my online trip planning courses. So of course I'll share it with you all too.
Contents all in a transparent hard case (because tools and metal spare parts eventually wear through drybags)

Drivers and bits for all screws on boat
Sockets to fit all nuts on boat
Replacement seat screws
Adjustable wrench

UV-cure quick patches for kayak hull cracks
UV flashlight for curing on rainy days/after dark
WaterWeld two-part putty for small hull repairs
Assorted patches for tent, clothes, etc
Silnet goop and repair patches for silicone tent flys, tarps, etc (Aquaseal won’t stick to these)
