Frank, If you are travelling to anywhere remote and it is a mono, then
apart from a spare inner tube, you should give some thought as to how
you might jack up the plane to get the wheel off. There is an account in
the Europa Flyer about a year ago of Tim Houlihan having to abandon his
plane on one of the Arran Islands in W Ireland. We rescued him a week or
so later having constructed a triangular pad with two prongs which
locates on the U/C arm to give a hard horizontal surface that you can
put any sort of car jack under. Trikes are no problem - you can simply
lift the wing on the puncture side and put any sort of trestle or prop
under it to hold it up.

some time ago which I have a print out of and have come across an article
in an old flyer magazine but thought IEUR(tm)d ask the question
myself.............so
what do you carry?
