We've got some great threads here on what human survival gear you should carry in your plane, but what about survival gear for the plane?

I'd like to assemble a little box-o-tricks to keep in the baggage compartment of my Cherokee - nothing too heavy & not carrying a whole shop with me - just stuff that might get me out of a jam of I'm far from home - what do you guys carry routinely?

My thoughts:
  • A quart of oil
    (obviously)
  • Spare lamps
    (landing light, position lights)
  • Window cleaning supplies
    (cloth & plexus, for getting bugs off.)
  • A spare note pad
    (because running out of paper and having to write on the back of the fuel receipt makes me feel dumb)

I routinely fly with a multitool in the co-pilot map pocket which gives me pliers, screwdriver, & cutters, and I have the maintenance manual on my iPad (the magic of technology:) )

What else do you guys routinely carry that I'm forgetting?
