Last month I posted a couple photos at this link from my most recent tour with my S&S coupled bike that has a Rohloff: Instead of re-posting it and re-describing it all over again here, just providing the link instead.
Mechanicals on tour

Being a Rohloff and not derailleur bike, tools were slightly different. And being an S&S bike where you have to almost completely disassemble and reassemble the entire bike at the start and end of tour to take on a plane, I bring some shop sized tools to make the assembly/disassembly easier and faster to perform. The slight weight penalty is worth it to reduce frustration.

I do not have a good photo of my derailleur touring bike tool kit, but at the link above I listed the differences in tool kit parts.
