There's a tubeless repair kit you can buy at Wal Mart or automotive store.
Must have plugs, reamer and adhesive. Don't forget that you'll need air after
you repair the flat.

A bottle of Slime and a 12V compressor.

My friend has repaired many many tires in the trails, as long as you have
plugs, etc,
and a pump. I have at least 6 to 7 plugs
in just my front tire, and holds air fine.
The trick is to light the plug on fire, once it
is in the tire, for a minute or so. This has never failed us yet.

hey the tire plug kits you can buy at wal-mart work just fine i hav 12
plugs in one big hole it works just fine i never would have beleive you could
get that big of a hole to seal but you can just use rubber cement on each
plug and keep shoving them in the hole then air it up and your on your way
the trick is dont under estimate how many plugs you need bring lots.

I have never had great luck with that Slime. What I carry is a cheap plug
kit a 12 V compressor and some Goop ( it is like silicone only better). I
have had to fix two large holes in my side walls with this list of stuff and
the tires plugged great.
