If we're talking holes from 4 inch nails then you may not be so lucky.
Are you using TR tyres and the sealant that is for TR tyres?
Also there's TR tyres for about $30 and TR tyres for $75, some are better than others.

Yep bike work on by very experienced guy that I ride with. Just luck of the draw and that ride a was a bad one. Had been bombing down rocky stuff at high speed the week before.
The same area we rode in a group a couple of weeks later, and that was when we had about 15 punctures between eight riders... Was crazy.
So yes tubeless is good, but certainly not foolproof, and if going far afield out of mobile reception always still take a tube.
