Looking to make an everyday carry sewing kit that I can have in my backpack for emergency sewing jobs. Other than a needle, thread, and scissors of some kind, any other suggested items and why they would be needed?

Wax thread thingy. Dunno what they're really called, but it's a bit of wax in a plastic jobber with guides so you can pull the thread through.

Lets you thread a needle easier, and makes it go through various materials easier as well

    Already gonna use a thread and needle that is easy enough to thread. Although that sounds like a useful tool to have at home.

    Note they are talking about waxing the thread to make it easier to sew with, not just to make it easier to thread the needle. A waxed thread pulls through fabric easier and tangles less often.

    Don't need anything really special, just a bit of bees wax or paraffin was will do.
