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...
