Repair kit contents?

I've been reading several articles about what an AT repair kit should look like, so I have a pouch and I'm stocking it. I see a small tuft of steel wool mentioned in many lists (in case a binding screw strips) but see no mention of carrying replacement screws. I guess I envision that if a screw or screws are coming loose, you may lose 1 so carrying a replacement screw for your bindings/skis may be wise.

Would this be a smart item to carry, or am I worrying too much?

Thanks!

Many of the guides I work with carry replacement screws. Some of them have some sort of epoxy or wood glue as well.

Interesting. How were they carrying the wood glue? I've only seen in it in fairly large containers.

What was the epoxy they were carrying: the single use Hardman packs like this?:

I did have a tube of super glue in my kit, but maybe that is not the best choice due to the solvent(s) in it. I wonder if the Gorilla Glue Minis would be a better choice?:

Haven’t thought of extra screws. But I usually have duct tape, a multi tool, a lighter and some ski straps. Might throw some

glue in the mix now too, seems like a good idea.
