1. small tube of 'superglue' 2. small roll of velcro (hook & loop) tape 3. needle with length of cotton attached. (I actually carry two needles - one standard with cotton, and one sailmaker's needle with length of twine. Also always carry a pocket knife of course, not sure if you considered that to be an item included in the three))
Not sure but getting some great ideas, I would definitley say that duct tape, sewing kit and knife all rank up there. I would probably ad some kind of patch adhesive, like a tarp sealer but everything else I will packing in with myself from now on.

Trade the candy bar for anything you need to borrow to do repairs. The cash is for others who already have a chocolate stash of their own.
