What are you carrying in your Fuel EX frame?

I just picked up a Fuel EX, and this is my first bike with Frame storage - time to accessorize!

What are you carrying, and how do you carry it? Are you using the Trek BITS bag or otherwise?

I haven't done anything other than stuff a windbreaker in the frame, but I'm hoping to get the whole pump/tube/toolkit deal inside the bike.

Rain shell during the t-storm season, and empty otherwise.
Using the BITS bag currently with a CO2, tire lever, tube, and inflator head. But planning on sewing up a less bulky version of it and swapping the regular tube for a tubolito so I can carry a bit more in there. I've already got a OneUp EDC in my steerer tube, so not really sure what else I I should carry that isn't already in my hip bag.
I've got a Stan's dart, co2, crank bros muilti tool, and wolf tooth chain link tool.

Funny, I've got a windbreaker stuffed in there right now, that's as much as I've done in the week that I've owned the bike.

Interesting comment about the BITS bag. I still need to pick up a bag and see what I can fit. Likewise, thinking of going Tubolito to save a little space.
Don't get me wrong, the BITS bag works fantastic. But the fabric it's made of seems unnecessarily thick and bulky in order to keep it from moving around in the storage pocket. I sew my own frame bags and other small things, so I figure I can give up on the strechy and sew a less thick version out of some of left over scraps of X-Pac or Dyneema if I'm feeling fancy. Then I can carry more things!
