Taking first 200 mile road trip

After posting treads and finally taking advice, I'm taking a road trip. What should I take besides normal sockets (MM) and water?

If I'm going someplace remote, I take a bunch of stuff, but the most important would be belts and hoses, and the tools to replace them. Oh, and two ways to inflate a tire.

Great, thanks for all the input. Almost everything people are telling me to bring, belts, hoes,etc. are all new, i still will take extras. And I just added road side assistance on my insurance. My spare tire was stolen at my hunting camp. SOL? Anyone have ideas for a spare, or should I take fix a flat? My mud tires, max inflation 51 psi. What psi on the HWY should I run? BTW 200 miles one way plus another 100 or so trail ridding and then 200 back home. Hopefully with a load of deer meat. Deer jerky, the best!
