What Tire Tyre Repair Equipment to Carry?

[NewbieRiderOz]

Just starting to travel long distances in "outback" Australia. Generally tyre repairs are orientated towards cars etc with only a minimal number of bike places. Distances between towns are about 100km or so.

Been seeing the tyre plugs on eBay and wondering how they would go with a small cheap compressor on the bike.

Other than hoping on "a wing and a prayer", how do you cover a nail/flat/etc and what do you carry etc

I carry a small compressor and tubeless repair kit.
Originally I carried a regular automotive plug kit, but was concerned about the needed rubber glue drying out, so I just bought a Stop-N-Go plug kit.

I just saw a favorable review for this little Slime repair kit in some bike mag . Like $45 , comes with a tiny compressor , some slime , and I think some other bits . I'ma get me one of them .

I got two punctures in my rear tire the same day...the tire only had about 2k miles on it and my funds were low, so I didn't wanna replace it just yet. I went to the auto parts store and bought a plug kit and plugged both holes. Its been two weeks and about 500 miles later, and the tire is holding up just fine. Of course I check the air every time I go out and visually inspect the plugs, but so far so good.
