Many have noted that using a 26" tube for a 650b tire is pretty common and entirely functional. 650b-specific tubes are ideal, but certainly not necessary. Since 26" tires are the most common of all, I would say it's quite possible to mitigate tire issues by either carrying a 26er with you or finding one en route.
