Carry two extra tubes, a wrench and some tire levers.
Instead of tirelevers, take a long shoelace, or piece of paracord. Wrap this around the axle and use it to pul the tire on/off. Levers are ok for off as your tube is already pooched, but for on, use the string as it will be less likely to cause a pinchflat, and it is faster to get a tight tire on.
