Field work tool choice and packing - on a bike! :)

How I choose and pack tools for field work (away from the workshop).

- Update: The job went well, had all I needed. Though I did have to use the "plan B" dowels/anchors. I also had to use metal drill bits (and the drill adapter for mounting them), and a wrench from my bicycle tool set to tighten a nut on one of the heavy elements I was mounting.
