It's definitely a bit easier to see debris against a smoother, cleaner (sometimes painted) surface like asphalt or concrete than it is to see the enemy in tall grass or weeds.
Flats are a part of life when you cycle, though.
Either way, you should carry a spare tube, a set of tire levers, perhaps a patch kit, and a pump or CO2 inflation kit ... just to get you back home.
You may want to consider a couple of tools (flat and phillips screwdriver and a few hex wrenches to fit your bike), too.
Have fun!
