Tools to carry

After reading through R1200GS toolkit info at the following link I made up a toolkit based on the recommendations. Had most of the bits and pieces lying around so just careful packing and low and behold I got everything to fit including spare bulbs.

After being out on Saturay with Martin, Jef,Peter and Chris. We got talking about what we carried on the bike in way of tools etc. I dont mean on a long journey, but when out and about . It turns out that as I only carry the BMW tool roll that came with the bike I`m very inadequate (missus tells me that all time ).
The others carry everything from a tow rope to a mini compressor

So what I was wondering are they over cautious or am I under equiped ?(funny missus says that too)
