I have only had my XT for a year and never had to fix a puncture yet, thankfully.
Fitting a bash plate probably makes it easier to prop the bike up on whatever is available. It might be possible to use a rope and suspend the bike from a tree!!
Neccesity is the mother of invention as they say.
Must be some spectacular riding in Chile, I am from Scotland which is nice in it's own wild/wet way!
