I've used Duct Tape to boot a tire that was practically cut in half to the bead. Finished my week-long fully-loaded tour with no problems. Always carry duct tape! I wrap a foot of it around my zip-stick tire tool. Using a foot of duct tape will make a better boot. ;-)

Good idea to put the booted tire on the back, powers2be.
A foot is all you have?
I carry an old plastic gift card (think credit card) wound around the middle until it's over a half inch thick with duct tape.
