What do you carry on sled for saddlebag/backpacking trips?

I don't remember seeing this discussion for awhile. For groups that go on longer saddlebag/backpacking trips, what do you carry for safety/survival/sled repairs? We got mixed up last winter on a trip in Canada where gas could have become an issue, so I was thinking about what we should be carrying (extra fuel, to start with)! This is probably less of an issue than it once was with cell phone service available most places in the midwest.

Bare necessities, keep it to a minimum for the purposed trip. Micro polyester clothes, fleece only, stay dry, and easy to pack. Canada, always gas/oil. Tow rope, Sno-Bungey pull/rope, nylon strap, saw/shovel, track adjust wrenches, minimum on tools, basic first aid kit, survival bag, trauma pack (quick clot), and several fusees/flair sticks for fire starters. The lighter the sled, the better the ride!!! Forgot to add this year I also packed a mini jump/pack. It's about the size of 2, I-phone 6s stacked back to back, 8000mAh. Can be used in charging phones, GPS, jump starter, and so on.

x2 - This is exactly what I carry as well when backpacking. The only other item in my bag not listed above is duct tape.
