On a recent backcountry ski touring trip...a binding needed adjustment and my repair kit did not include a few necessary items to do a proper fix.
What is included in your backcountry ski touring kit?

Better bring an inflatable leg splint too if you're ripping binding screws. And keep the rescue chopper on standby.

For remote trips its worthwhile bringing one entire spare binding, or if your in Dynafit just a heel, or both a heel and toe piece.

PS.... 5 minute epoxy takes 5 weeks at low temperature.
