Stripped a mud tire bead in the middle of a swamp and it took me 6 hours with just a ratchet strap and a lighter to get it seated again
I'm on team 'just carry a second spare' versus team 'learn the ratchet strap trick for good' after that nightmare, what's your go-to field fix for a popped bead?

Have you tried seating a bead with brake cleaner and a match?

@nathan_patel is gonna get himself blown up trying that brake cleaner trick lol. Honestly just carry a can of starter fluid and a lighter, way faster than wrestling a ratchet strap for 6 hours. Third spare is my real move though, screw learning field fixes when you can just swap and go.
