Serious question, what do you do when your drip line splits right before a big trip?

Mine blew a fitting in the 95-degree heat last Tuesday, and I had to MacGyver a fix with electrical tape and a zip tie from my garage. How do you guys handle emergency irrigation repairs on short notice?

Got a spare coupler and some hose clamps in your truck?

Honestly, my truck bed is a black hole for that kind of stuff. I'll toss a few clamps in there and they're just gone forever. So no, I'm in the same boat as jadew, making a parts run when something breaks.

Nah man, @alice336, I never keep that stuff rolling around loose. It just ends up lost or rusted out. I keep a small toolbox with the basics, but for couplers and clamps I make a run to the parts store when a line goes. Saves me the headache of digging through a mess later.
