I haven't patched a tube out on the road in ages, but have always carried a new, unopened tube of "glue" in the tool kit. Even an unopened one has dried out on me when I go to use it at home.
There are numerous options to buy an 8oz. can of vulcanizing fluid. Just due to the amount it should last a long time before drying becomes an issue.
