I've never had a blow out or a gash severe enough to warrant a tire boot. Regardless of what size tire you ride, the chances of encountering difficulty within 100 of an open bike shop are small, despite Bill's sage advice. I carry a cell phone for emergency extractions when the LZ gets too hot. Err, when I can't come up with some kind of hack or fix to limp home on. Having gone totally away from 700 to 650B, it's just never been a problem.
