I did a "what can I stop carrying?" exercise this year and decided that I am just going to wear a heavy camleback to my grave. The risk vs. reward was too strong and I am too lazy to move things in and out based on my ride. I have also started short rides then ran into a friend on a long ride and decided to just keep going with them.
This year I added the EDC lite and didn't remove any tools from my pack. I love being able to pull the tool make an adjustment and then keep going without digging in my pack. BUT the flip side of that is when something from the pack is needed it is nice to dig it out and ride home instead of walking.
