What is/are your flat prevention secrets?

Based on the latest Ms I thread and her flat prone ride I thought it may be a good idea to share what you do to prepare, prevent, resolve flats when you are on the road.

Here's mine: a patch kit, a Hurricane MiniMax Mini Pump, a spare tube(duh), and most importantly thorn resistant tubes. Oh, and making sure my tires are inflated properly every 2 days.

I have to say though that because of the thorn resistant tubes other people have had more use of my patch kit, pump and spare tube. That's 7500+ miles of flat free group rides, rain or shine commuting and weekend solo rides.

Whats yours?
