FWIW I carry one spare tube plus a few Park Tool patches. If one flat just use spare tube. Stick-on patches are for back-up only. Beats the call of shame and only a few grams.
Same. I generally try to find the location of the hole in the first tube to make sure I address that spot before installing the new tube and so I know where to patch if I need a second tube.
