I don't think anyone has yet mentioned that punctures are much more frequent when it's wet. This is a very good reason why spare inner tubes are essential - just try sticking any kind of patch onto a wet inner tube!
As for repairing tubes - of course we do. A successful repair of a butyl tube really needs the tube to be well roughened before applying rubber solution - a dremel, used with care, is a short cut for this job.
