I carry a multi tool, chain tool, tire levers and a tube. I also carry a couple of CO2 cartridges and an inflator. I run Orange Seal and have only had to do one fill in the spring. I used to use Stans and found I needed to add at least one time in the summer. I like it much better than Stans. Water depends on the ride. If it's going to be under 2 hours, I carry a water bottle or two depending. If it's going to be 2+, I use a camelback. Usually, I'm fixing other peoples chains because they don't have a chain tool.
Everyone is different though. I sweat, so I need water with electolytes. My wife, can get by on one small water bottle over a two hour hammer, but she needs more food than me.
