Depends on where you are riding. A good day out in the mountains requires a bit more than mincing around a trail centre foe example.
On a normal ride (2 hours+) - Camelback full of water, a tube (sometimes 2), pump, multitool with tyre leavers, split link, gels/sweets, phone, and cash. A water bottle with electrolyte tablet if it's warm.
Anything local I try to get away with just a bottle of water and my phone.
chris_mbuk - will a 26 tube take a 27.5 wheel?
Yes, managed to squeeze one into my 29er so it shouldn't be an issue.
I always carry a small first aid kit and small silver blanket just in case.
2 tubes (tubeless here too)
Multitool
Tyre lever
Hanger
Zip ties
Pump with gaffer tape wrapped round it
Small first aid kit
Clothing appropriate to the conditions
Food
Emergency food
Water
Phone
Add more or less to clothing and food for more remote or bad weather.

Locally, (say 30 miles round the foothills of the Cairngorms) I'll only have a pump (attached to bike), water bottle (attached to bike) a saddle or frame bag with tube, patches, levers, multi-tool and a chain link, and then a couple of snack bars - oh and my phone. If the weather looks changeable I'll take a bumbag with a jacket, likely a foil blanket, and some cash.
A good day out of 3 hours plus:
3L Water (and maybe an energy gel or two)
Tube & Pump
Tool Kit (Power Links, multi-tool, brake pads, cable ties)
Medical pack
ID Card
Money
Phone
For short spins may just risk a bum bag with water and tool kit and rely on my tires staying inflated 🙂
I carry out shredding of gnar.
Cake. Lots of cake.
Grinder app
Tricorn hat and cape.
A tube
Multitool
Tyre levers
Chain link
Mech hanger
Water
