Christina should ABSOLUTELY do a couple of laps on that Banshee! That would be an awesome video. One of my friends had one of those as his last DH bike around the 2003/4 era. I remember doing a guided ride at Whistler in 2004 and the two guides were riding those as well. Definitely a beast of a bike with a Monster II on it.
When I was racing DH I used to carry a small bike shop's worth of spares with me. Tires, drivetrain, wheels... these days I tend to carry less with me on trips, but the idea of putting together a case like that is a good one I am considering.

Absolute gem of a bike! You should definitely take it for a spin Christina!

As someone who rides their bike to the trails and have had situations where something happens on the trails and i have no tools to fix the problem/issue, I've learn to bring a backpack with the basic essential tools to fix my bike.

J-bend spokes, feels like they should be in stock anywhere but lately it's not the case at least around me. Even the official distributor in my country orders spokes on demand instead of keeping them in stock. It's like nobody builds wheels anymore but I like doing it myself. Used to be I walked into a random bike shop, tell them the size and I could pick from 2-3 options. Having spares definitely saved me before.

Pedro's micro tire lever, holds a chain quick link and presta valve tool inside. One of the better little tools in my bag

Do people from B.C realize how often they say "so"? Or laugh like "ke, hi" that cartoon cat
