Be Prepared they say ...

So I dislike my saddle bag, gets covered in crud off road anyway, have a hydro pack and going through it this morning to discard it I discover the tube that's been in there for several months without need of use has worn with at least 2 holes in it.
Merde! Oh well, haven't needed it in 9 mths running tubeless, haven't punctured, haven't burped a tyre, I'll throw the multitool in the hydro pack and not worry....
You know already don't you...
In the middle of the trail, in the nearest thing to jungle we have, the back wheel all over the place, torn side wall. Sealant blocks hole until any pressure, borrow a pump, same story, get some air in before riding on to fully burp the tyre.
'hello darling, can you wake up the baby, put down what you're doing and come and get me...
'
I bought a new set of tyres yesterday as the rear was nearly done....
She also can't believe the 1 fecking time I got out unprepared is the 1 fecking time!!!!!
Not least, my planned 50 is now only 20 and 3 walking
