My friend Bobby said earlier (and I quote): "if I were embarking on a

Would you like him to describe the contents of this kit? I'll wager
that DOT brake fluid is one of the items. Correspondingly, I bet you
and Jan would carry a brake cable in your kit, since brake cables also
do not grow on trees (so to speak).
Tell you what else, shift cables do not grow on trees either. And when
you have front and rear panniers on your bike and you're riding in rural
West Virginia when your shift cable breaks, you will quickly discover,
as I did, that in a town without a bike shop there isn't anything you
can find in a hardware store that will work as a substitute. And
believe you me, picture hanging wire just won't do: I know. I tried.
