Hi Guys

Using this thread as reference I am going over my tool kit:
https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=101051.0

I am preparing for two trips, one this weekend to Rhodes, and another to Namib next month.
I think it is important to mention that I am not skilled in bike/car repairs/mechanics and wont be trying to patch a chain or radiator or similar next to the road.

This is what I currently have in my tool kit:
Straps x 4 - For strapping panniers and whatever doesn't fit like sleeping bags
Rope - Nylon
Tube - Front
Tube - Back
Bomb Tool
3 x Large Bombs - is it enough to seat a rear tyre?
Torx Key set - T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, T30, T40, T45, T50
Hex Key set
Tyre fix and Tube sealant - Should I leave one or both?
24 Spanner - Rear wheel
17 Spanner - Front Wheel
13 Spanner - Chain
12 Spanner - Valve Stem - I can leave this and use the small shifting or pliers?
Small Shifting
Small Pliers
Small Side cutters
Lots of cable ties
Electrical Tape
3 x Small 240mm Tyre Levers
1 x Small puncture repair kit - just noticed that the glue container broke and is no more... Will replace the kit with a bigger one
1x Hella to 12V cigarette socket homemade cable

I always carry a map, sometimes a UPS (not mounted)
In my pocket I always carry a pocket knife

First Aid kit:
Plasters, Germolene and Allergex!

I need to add sunlight soap - still looking for a small container that wont spill
Maybe a hand-pump or is that not really necessary?
Is it necessary to add steel putty?

Anything I need or don't need that's not on my list?
