where is the tools to take the nut for the drive face just in case you break a belt. adjustable oil filter wrench with the teeth and a long handle rachet.

Get a leatherman, or similar multitool. As for holding the drive face I've found wedging a flathead screwdriver in the gears of the drive face and bracing it on the starter gear works in a roadside bind.

Why? If I had to carry that much stuff with me in a back pack I would just as soon stay home.

Spare belt to go with the wrench would be a good plan. If you are traveling in places where no one can come get you if you break down and there is no cell reception all that stuff will get you home. I would add a c02 tire inflator or micro bicycle pump if that's not on the list with something to fix a flat like a patch kit, plug kit or some slime :-)
