‘and rode another 100k’ - omg! after doing 100k off road I’m hanging so much the thought of dropping something and having to go back, having a gps issue, or getting a normal puncture fills me with thoughts like ‘perhaps if i just curl up in this bush someone will rescue me or i might just quietly die and that not be so bad’

Seen this impressive plugging contraption being carried out on the ride last weekend, pretty extreme fix, I would have put a tube in long before that.
Large hole (maybe 1.5cm?) in a Schwalbe 2.2" (Rocket Ron?). Double car tyre plug fitted (already surprised someone had those on the ride), the plugs sealed, however they would slowly slip out while riding, so tyre unseated and two further plugs (one car one regular bacon strip) threaded through the first two from the inside to stop them coming out. Reseated the tyre with a cartridge, pumped, trimmed the excess plugs and rode another 100km with no issues.
I suppose that counts as a win for tubeless..
