About the "patching in the field" comments...like most riders (I think), I prefer to swap tubes, continue the ride, and repair the puncture back home. I do carry a no-glue patch kit with me, though. At home, I use a Park patch kit that uses glue.
Yes. I fill the tube with air and move it slowly in front of my lips, going all the way around the tube. You'll feel the air coming out against your lips. Very effective.
But just to ask, why aren't you riding with a light?
Nice video; very professional.

just out of curiosity have any of you geniuses tried patching a flat tube at night? with a portable pump and no water or light to spot the hole?

thats funny how all "fix flat" vids, are related to tube swapping rather than fixing the same tube...

I agree. Using a patch kit is not rocket science.
