Default flat tire on the trail

I had flat's on two consecutive rides, within a mile on the same trail in the same tire. I bought a plug kit at wal mart, along with a 12 volt compressor, that i always carry with me. I also had all the tires slimed. The first flat was a stick about 1/4 inch in diameter, still stuck in the tire. I don't know what the second cause was. It'a real simple to use the plug kit, the seconod flat was fixed and i was up and running in about 5 minutes. The kit and the compressor was less than $20, real cheap insurance. I think it might be time for new tires, i've got 1300 miles on stock dunlops.

two things to always carry with you when riding well three, first bring a ratchet tie down , and second a small, cheap, lite CO2 cartridge. lift up the 4 wheeler and put the strap around tighten it so that there is plenty of presure around the beeds, it will be very tight, this will lock the beeds so you can put air into the tire with the co2, this does work. the third thing you should bring, a cell phone to call for some help so you dont have to push the thing out of the woods
