As for a flat......if it's punctured in the thread I repair it on the spot, unless it's a cut. I did 7,000 miles in 2-1/2 months this winter in places where theirs no houses, electricity, cell............nothing unless you have a satellite phone. I carry a 12v air pump, pro garage plug kit for tire repair. But that's just me and I was just wondering by the way. I understand and respect your point of view. ;)

I have a 12v compressor I keep in my Yaris. I remember the patch kit suggestion from a few people on another thread, but I have yet to buy one, let alone get comfortable using one . I wish Bronsin had already driven to Alaska and posted about it (and wish I'd known about YW) when my Yaris was new. I might have tried to drive to Alaska myself.....and a patch kit would have especially come in handy on a trip like that.
