MY24 optional Jack ??

I am always mindful that I could find myself with a puncture without mobile signal and stranded, with no alternative but to solve the problem on my own.
Yep me too with can of Tyreweld.
 
Agreed with @WelshGas and @Maidment_Ocean tips, my complete onboard puncture pack is:

- Spare wheel, jack, oak board to spread jack load, torque wrench and long 19mm socket socket
- Bosch 18v battery tyre pump with spare power pack
- https://amzn.eu/d/dF1SqQq

- Gloves, full rubber for grip and also fingerless gloves for fiddly tasks
- disposable overalls (my last puncture pre-California caught me in my 'bobby dazzlers')
- knee pads (Lidl are the best, though I remove the front hard section)

My last puncture was at speed on the motorway, I pulled over quickly but the tyre was destroyed, gunk, tyre plugs etc. would have been useless.

There there are other risks to be prepared for, a farmer once locked me into his land after I had taken a motorcycle down to an isolated Dorset beach so I also now carry an 18v Bosch angle grinder.

Our MY22 Cali has 18” rims so no spare tyre. It’s supplied with the can of gunk and the useless compressor, but also a Jack and wheel brace.
Same here for our 23 with 18"s.
