I'm also carrying quite a few things that I very rarely use but I always did and I don't mind it. I make sure everything is perfect on my bike before leaving for a ride, but my friends never carry tools and even if they do, I always take mine out first because I am often the one hearing a noise from their ride. Nothing is strapped on my bike, it all goes in my Camelbak Repack (1.5l of water, CrankBros multitool, clif bar, quick link, patches and tubeless plugs, small pump, tire levers, bandana and band-aids).
Since I carry water in my hip pack, I just bought a B-rad plate and strap to carry a Zoleo satellite communicator on my bike. It seems like the perfect location to make sure it doesn't get damaged if I fall on my bum bag (and to keep it as far as possible from my reproductive organs haha). 90% of the time, I'm riding black diamond trails alone, an hour or two away from any cell phone service so it adds some piece of mind.
I almost bought the B-rad version with the bag, but since the Zoleo is water and shock-resistant, I only needed the plate and strap. All my Wolf Tooth products have been awesome, well made and durable, I love what they're doing!
