I'm 750km into a tour up the Wild Atlantic Way and my hanger snapped. Would have been absolutely game over. I've no idea who it was or on what post. But I saw that it'd be wise to buy a spare hanger. Very nearly didn't! But when it happened and I fixed it having never done it before. It became another high point on the trip! Do yourself a favour and grab one just in case!

Another tip, if you have a derailleur tool, prebend said hanger before leaving. Glad you had it op!
You can also use your chain breaker to make a temporary single speed if your derailleur is toast
You can’t hear it, but I’m clapping for you. Having done a bunch of big tours, I know how good that moment feels.
