This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Tool care.
A good friend of mine measured the complexity of your life by how many inflated tires you own. Mainly because he always had a flat tire somewhere on his property. Let's learn how to fix them ourselves!

Here's a
video of what we're after:
Minimum requirements:
- Fix a flat tire on a piece of equipment that weighs at least 300 lbs (car, riding mower, atv, etc)
- You can fix it on the rim or remove the tire from the rim if you need
- Do not use "Fix-a-Flat" or similar materials
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Flat tire
- Soapy bubbles or clear cause of flat (mark the spot somehow for later)
- Midway through fixing the flat
- Inflated tire with non-bubbly soapy
water on the same spot
