Whats the best on trail tire repair kit to have?

This will be my first year hitting the trails and seen these tire repair kits. Seen one by kolpin "I think" and it was a tube,that held your tire plugs and tools,then that took turned into a pump to fill your tire by hand. Thought that was pretty cool!

I did some more searching and seen other kits that came with Co2 cartridges that go into a hand pump,to give you that personal air compressor feel,This seems easier.

I guess anything would work,I kinda like the idea of the Co2 powered pump,but how many of those would you need to fill up a standard atv tire? I just think if you have a mishap and spray the co2 all over or have a problem sealing the bead of the tire to hold air you might be better off with just a hand pump?

But I figure I would throw out this question to people that have actually used one of these kits and let me know what you recommend before I order something,Thanks!

Repair bent frame on 2005 660 Grizzly?

Folks,
A few months ago, I got on my Grizzly and started the bike. Once I placed it in gear and started to move/turn, the throttle went wide open and could not stop it. It was late evening and by the time I was able to find the kill switch, I already ran into a tree resulting in 4 broke ribs. Today I took my first look at the damage and appears to have bent the frame as the right wheel which took the impact is shifted to the rear ~2-3". I raised the bike and removed the guards from the bottom and found the area that appears to took the brunt of the impact resulting in bent frame. Question is, should I attempt to repair/rebend the frame? If so any suggestions or other options? I have attached pictures showing damage. Any help or suggestions appreciated!
