Default Can you fix a flat?

I've had it happen to me once. I was five miles from home, 12:00 at night, and got a nail in my back tire. Since my bike has wire rims and tubes in the tires, i was forced to have a buddy come get me and my bike.

So here's the challange...since i ride such long distances from home, a tow back home could cost me dearly. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove and fix a flat roadside?
