I once took the front tyre and tube off and rode back over the fields on just the rim, got me home!
Now I always carry a spare tube (or two), plus a puncture repair kit.

Crisp packets scavenged from the undergrowth to cover a cut in the side wall of a tyre.

Zip ties to hold tyre onto a very split rim.

In the unlikely even my slime tubes gov up the ghost I fit a spare, or phone Woman to pick me up in the Landie.

Split the sidewall on the road bike's rear tyre on Friday - called out the 'team car' for a replacement bike...

D'oh!

I've got to ask, it's been itching at me for a day or so - how did you use the Marathon wrapper (and props for accuracy, it would have been Marathon BITD, and not "Snickers" (spit))?
