I have done this recently. Below is a pic of what I usually carry.
1. Lezyne bag with multi-tool, pouch of bits and bobs inc a puncture kit, spoke key and powerlinks, crank tool and spare plastic bit for Shimano cranks, co2 canisters.
2. Inner tube, DHB jersey bin with phone, cash and card.
3. Waterproof bag with a waterproof jacket.
I usually also have an energy bar.
1 Bottle should be fine for a couple of hours.
I can also squeeze in a battery for a helmet light too.
Hope this helps.

Anything under 2 hours (excluding hot weather), it's pump, tube, CO2 and multitool in the jersey pocket.
Over 2 hours I can make do with a saddle pouch and pockets but I'd have to refit a bottle cage for water. I can carry enough stuff on the road bike easily enough so the MTB wouldn't be different. I can even shove a kindle in my pocket on one-way road rides for the train ride back (Sunday trains a bit infrequent in the sticks).
Bring back airforce seatpost pumps and chuck the levers and multi tool down there too, pack with sausage meat for sustenence and to prevent rattling.
I use one of these:

can fit under the frame or on top as a cheap gas tank bag.

Bottle in cage and Lezyne bag packed nice and snug to eliminate any rattling around. Any surplus goes in pockets...
What Lezyne bag is that?
