some food, water, milti-tool with chain tool, chain quicklink, tubeless repair kit, minipump
when in bike-parks I add spare brake pads
if there is a longer transit via car roads i'd put a rear red light on.

I'm not too sure that food and water is an "accessory", maybe necessity. though.

Indispensable items for one of my mountain bike rides are: phone, food, water, packable rain jacket, chain lube, first-aid kit, patch kit, tire pump, and also very important and convenient item is the saddle bags.

Chain lube? Are you going on a 5 day ride?

just water, snacks, tube, pump and maybe a jacket if weather looks weird. Every time I overpack I regret it halfway up the climb lol.

I always have something to fix a tire rip\tear damage.. I usually take a @10in piece of duct tape and wrap it around tire levers, patch kit or normally the outside of a CO2 cylinder.. If you tear your tread or sidewall with no repair items.. It will ruin your ride and maybe ruin it for others who won't abandon you in the middle of nowhere.. Think Noble Canyon or Pacific Crest Trail.. Not an easy walk back..
