Me too, but with a bag as big as that one I would definitely squeeze in 2 tubes at the expense of some of those CO2 cannisters.
I punctured both tyres on one pot hole the other week, but managed to borrow a tube from another rider. It can be quite difficult to find a puncture hole at the best of times, never mind at the side of the road in howling wind and rain.
