I did have plug kit but no patch in it, puncture happened 20k into the track with over 200 left to do, 50°c 3 kids in the back !! bottled out and turned back, did get it fixed localy!!
PS: Loving your travels matey, enjoy
Shame no patches but atleast you got it fixed. We would have done the same also.
I think what I'm trying to get at is this: take 1 spare and if you split a tyre get it repaired asap. If you take 2 you would still need to get 1 repaired but it would buy you time. However, you are never that remote where tyre repairs cannot be done. most places are arguably within 1 days drive. I think this is a better approach as your not carrying the weight of the 2nd spare and the storage implications it brings.
I really think 1 is enough and its worth saving the cost and weight on both short and long haul trips
