Some bare necessities:
Patches. A lot of patches!
IceToolz cable cutter, because none of those other ones would "cut it!"
And a LASCO 52T chainring set to get my Vybe "up to speed"...

I just bought a new winter bike. I am hoping it has other uses for me as well. It rides well in snow. I can't wait to try in out on a rural (gravel) road and/or limestone path.

Nothing that cool. The Access "old turnpike" gravel bike. A Performance Bike exclusive at $650.
Every winter I mull-over the idea of a mountain bike... thinking I might get a little riding time in on the snow. This year I decided a Gravel Grinder might be a better idea.

I wish it would fit, but it's too long for me.

I added bottle cages hoping for ride-able weather, changed the saddle, added campus pedals (both mtn bike clip-ons and platform pedal, combo). And even hung a fully packed saddle bag. Total weight- 24.27 pounds. would guess stripped and pedal-less it should weigh about 22 1/2 pounds.

With a little adjustment.... all my bikes end-up measuring nearly the same. Of course that doesn't mean they all feel as comfortable. I had to get a size smaller than I normally would have expected to. It does appear to be a bit odd sized... IMHO.
Just based on my test rides... I think I am going to be pretty happy with it. And... now I need to find and buy more bicycle accessories too.

Well done Dave Cutter. That looks like a fantastic bike. I keep thinking I need a bike like that for winter because my only bike is one that I worry about crashing in icy conditions.

I have a rain/winter bike. But it is really just an older road bike. The c25 tires... don't offer any additional traction. And being an older (retired) guy.... I consider the cost of bone repairs above the cost of bike repairs. I will sell the other bike (and maybe one more) come spring to defray the cost of the gravel bike.
But to be honest... I really wanted to try disc brakes and (maybe next winter) tubeless tires. It's all for fun.

Nothing special. Just needed replacement cleats for my Sidis. Got these from Nashbar.
