The underdog..
Lol... You just need to aim for cheaper saws.
I see it similar! Sounds like burdening oneself with unneeded junk is popular here. First aid kit shouldn't be left out either!I can't recall ever having a saw break in the field that was repairable in the field. Proper preventative maintenance solves 99% of issues. I honestly see no reason to carry an air filter, fuel filter and spark plug. Nor do I see any reason to carry an E-clip (never lost one), or a sprocket. I don't sharpen in the field either. I carry a few spare sharp chains, a spare bar (to get out my stuck saw), wedges, axe, PPE and a first aid kit. Fuel, scrench and oil for the saw, water and food for me.

A paper clip will do the trick, and I have used one myself, but I'd worry about it falling into the tank. Not that it would be detrimental... just another inconvenience.You don't need heavy wire to fish out a fuel filter. Paper clip with a circular hook on the end will do nicely.
You are more than prepared by the looks of that set-up. NiceI carry 4 saws with me & if they won't work then I figure God's telling me it isn't my day to cut. He hasn't sent me a don't cut message yet. (Stihl 08s with 25" bar, 08s with 17" bar, Husqvarna 338xpt California with 14" bar & a Jonsered CS2139T with a 12" bar.)
I don't carry spare parts. Make sure saws are serviced after day's use. However I do carry:

(Photos taken before I got the Husqvarna 338xpt & the other 2 Stihls with 17" bars are S10s, basically the same a the 08s's.) The bucket is mainly for use on the tractor.
No problem. I get years out of fuel filters, air filters, sprockets and sprockets. I cut about 30 cords a year with two saws.Akdoug this list also doubles as a list of things i want to keep on hand so i don't have to run to the dealer every time i need something since it is a 30 to 40 minute round trip.
n_a,i like a pair of forceps for fuel filters.not as bulky as needlenose pliers.i have both straight and angled tips.I take files and a stump vise as it is with several extra chains and a second bar.
I plan to use long needle nose pliers for getting the fuel filter out but that would be a new experience for me so if there is any better tool to accomplish that please let me know.
I run an MS 271 that has a spur drive sprocket. I have no idea if it can be setup to run a rim sprocket with .325 pitch chain but I would be interested if it was something that was possible. I need to look into that further. I'm sure someone on here knows. I definitely need to add an extra flippy cap to the list.

Bar nuts for sure. Sucks bad when you lose one and have to quit for the day to get another
