What is the common or a good size for a master cylinder for just rear brakes (no front brakes yet)?

Short of bringing an entire car worth of spare parts what are the must bring spare parts to save the trip? To clarify these would be spare parts or supplies to repair the sandcar while at the dunes in case of a break down and kept in the trailer not things to be carried in the sandcar.

What are the purpose made masks that people wear while driving their sandcars to reduce sand/dust inhalation called? Are they affective? Where do you buy them? Any ones that are better than others?
