I watched Darrell fix a flat tire on a ride with multiple riders a couple of years ago. Before he removed the nail/screw from the tire he had the tire repair kit all set and close by to start the repair immediately after removing the screw/nail. Being all set to do the repair preserved as much of the tire's psi as possible.
From the time he started till he finished with a repaired tire it may have been 10 minutes. From what I recall the rider continued to ride on that tire for the rest of the trip.
I am going to leave a note in my tire repair kit (rope type) noting the procedure Darrell described in his post. Hopefully in the future I will never have to read the note.
