Just curious. When you travel, as I do quite a bit, do you take a camera toolbox with you? and what's in it? Lens spanner, hex wrenches, grease, tiny screw drivers, etc.
Sorry if this has been covered. Haven't see it around.

Real men use Speed Graphics and flashbulbs.
Husky 8-in-1 mini screwdriver.
stove pipe wire.
lens spanner.
gaff tape.
superglue.
roll of 3m frosted magic tape- add that to a piece of glass or plexi and you have a new ground glass.
gerber multitool, aka "10 shitty tools in one"
I'll include a simple lens-cleaning kit in my toolbox; lenses and filters can get cruddy in forest & field.
Also "spares," such as a spare lithium battery (for the meter), spare cable release, spare level...
I even throw in a penny to unscrew & open the meter's battery container.
Leatherman multi-tool (the original one,) and duct tape. The camera bag contains spare stuff (shutter release, lens cleaning, etc.) -- this is the repair stuff for fixing broken things.
Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.
A credit card?

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
Flashlight to hunt for small pieces I may have dropped while repairing camera in the field and a light lunch in case it takes too much time to find the pieces. Also 9MM depending how big the animals may be in the field.

Some of the above plus:
Chalk, string, a big nail, 2 mini-leds and a pocket mirror.
All in aid of getting the camera squared off.
