Fix a Flat saves my hide everytime
I ride over cactus all the time with quads and 4runner, any flat/leak is easily repaired with fix a flat. I don't find it messy, just screw on/off quickly. Let all air out first Then inflate. On atv tires i count to 15 and Done! Its cheap at wallymartinez, transports ez, don't need an extra tools and can even be used by my 20 yr old daughter - now that's good! p.s. I do understand larger punctures can require a plug (carry a package of those) or worse - new tire.

Fix a flat is a very messy thing to use. Tire slime, a patch kit and a co2 filler will work much better.
Something like this. There are other brands and styles too. Just an example of what's out there that is much better than fix a flat.

You are right-plugs & fix a flat can really work!
On an auto, awhile back i came across a lady with a flat. She had no spare and a puncture on the sidewall. I know any tire repair place would tell her she needs a new tire. She was desperate so I tried plugging the sidewall then used fix a flat. To my surprise it held. We tested it at low speed for a few miles then tried highway (she had 30 miles to go) and she called me later to say it got her home. Woohoo!

Used fix-a-flat few months back after I'd ran over a large tack somehow. Didn't find it messy at all and it sealed the puncture right up. I have a small air tank (bubble as some call it) I take with me when I trail ride. Harbor Freight has them at best prices (especially if you have a coupon). Had one from AutoZone from years ago but it always lost it's air after 2-3 days, this one I have now doesn't leak at all. If you are using those 12v pumps make sure your battery is up to snuff before.
