C'mon Dave, lighten up!
Seriously, I carry around a bag with a bunch of tools and oils/greases out of necessity. I would much prefer to have a qualified repairman in the area. Unfortunately, wishing it isn't going to make it happen. The closest reputable repairman to me is over 3 hours drive away. As a result, I have to be able to do things like clean, oil, and align valves, unstick slides and mouthpieces, general maintenance, etc.
Wanna move to south Florida? ;-)
My opinion for what it's worth...
