I wouldn't think about a trip without a spare. I have trouble getting around but I still change 22.5 tires. It's not that much work if you know how, some people are lazy and never had to work hard. Get t a torque multiplier and you can get the nuts off. The biggest problem is getting the bead set. I have had to use ether and a propane torch when all else failed. Now I cut 2x4 block and put between the bead to train the tire bead apart.
I use a nylon ratchet strap to set the bead. Wrapped around the tire in the center of the tread and tightening will set the bead. I have also used my leveling jacks to break the bead to pull the old tire off of the rims. Sure the spare tire is heavy but if you are lifting the whole tire at any time, you are not doing it right. ;)
