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?

Thread picker can be useful as well for, well, unpicking things or just poking things. Some small patches, possibly self adhesive ones are useful for larger holes. Possibly some safety pins for helping to hold things together while you work.
