Got a MTB with tubeless tires and not entirely sure what I should bring along with me in terms of a repair kit to get me home in case of punctures / gashes. Understand its not the same repair kit as for tires with inner tubes?
Thanks!
Had great success with the kits that push a rubber plug into the tyre. Dont even have to take the wheel out or risk unseating teh tyre bead....

Take a tube just in case, ive used a regular tube repair patch and its worked for me. The weldtite stringy things look good, tho i have not used them.
The Weldtite does look good! Thanks for the tip.
Question however what sealant is? Reviewers seem to suggest that this applies where sealant can't work?
Nvm read up re sealant and seems Stans NoTube Sealant or Bontrager Super juice is the way to go.
Aye, the Weldtite kits are good and you can cut the sticky string up so the whole kit will do several holes.
Most of the time you won't be aware that the sealant has actually worked, unless it's a larger one that sprays. Bontrager stuff was pish, in my experience; have been using the Effetto Caffelatex stuff for a while and been happy.
Stans didna help when I ripped a hole in my tyre at Laggan, always carry a spare tube.

Likewise.........
I have a tubeless set up (Shimano XT UST rims and Race Queen 2.2 UST tires) - can an inner tube be installed?
I thought I would get the Stans / Effetto sealant liquid and the weldtite repair kit.
