Do you conceal carry... Tire plugs?

Yeah that was a click bait title... I'm Canadian, not lawful to conceal carry...

Do you guys carry tire plugs? I used to keep them on hand when I rode the ATV. Is there anything special about an ADV plug kit? I'm thinking the typical black glued-up cord you push through with a T-handle. Then have a 12V mini compressor for the inflation. I want to add this to my kit bag. Any thoughts on this, any tips?

Here's a pic from last weeks trip into Harrison Lake BC, no problem keeping up with those full size ADV bikes!

I “cc” a tire plug kit 100% of the time. Concealed in a “Possibles Bag” from Giant Loop which fits on the side of the frame underneath the seat. This way it’s with me even if my side cases aren’t. This small bag is big enough for a tire plug kit, a small compressor, a CO inflator (the idea being that it may set the bead if the compressor fails, never needed it), regular rope style plugs which I switch out every couple of years to keep them fresh, extra adhesive, tire valve, wire, a multimeter, luggage net and a long metal buckled strap.

I had to plug tires twice, once for a buddy, once for myself. In both cases we’d have been there until the cows come home without self-reliance.
