Spare spokes

Hey all

Been on a few multi day trips the last couple of years, nothing too long. Now I'm getting set for a week or so over into Eastern Oregon (John Day, Burns, etc.)

I haven't worried about carrying a spare spoke yet but then decided perhaps I should. Yesterday while working on my road wheels (pinch flat at 48 mph, ouch) it dawned on me that if I break a spoke, it will probably be on the drive side of the rear wheel. If that is the case, then I would need to carry a cassette nut tool & wrench to fit I guess plus a chain whip?

Thoughts or experiences with this?

Thanks!
