I had a spare kit in the car, in every jacket, in my wife's purse, and in a backpack. I needed a change and picked the one from the car. I was in the process of putting on the new bag and found that it was welded shut and useless. My wife came to my rescue with more supplies. The lesson is do not keep a spare in the car as a hot summer will melt and weld your bag shut, making it useless. Also, rotate your supplies to make sure your inventory is fresh. Luckily, I was not alone and stranded in a public washroom.
