Without experience you can't use the puncture kit, fit the spare parts you carry or avoid getting ripped off in the many foreign countries you'll visit.
It's not really a 'bit of kit' but essential nonetheless.
Of course, you could say that with experience your trip will be less of an adventure but I think most people would prefer to have the benefit of experience when trying to fix a puncture at the roadside, in the dark, in the rain.

the problem with experience is that at some point you will have had to go out without it....
the right mindset is essential tho...
