Carrying spare bearing question

If you carry a spare wheel bearing, is it packed with grease? What do you carry it in?

I carry a set of bearings and a new drum dry for emergencies. In my 37+ years of towing a TT with over 150K+ total miles the only trailer running gear problems I have had are two broken springs on my 1981 Prowler.

I've read of more broken springs than bearing failures while on the road, and blown tires of course. That is why I prefer Dexter's Torflex Suspension Axles. Unfortunately, I couldn't get them when I ordered our present Arctic Fox TT.

Not that those Torflex axils can't fail, but it would be rare if they did.

I carry a one complete bearing change pre-lubed in a heavy duty freezer zip-lock bag. Doubled bagged, to remain dirt and dust free and no leaking grease. Just as insurance. Fortunately, so far, never had to use the spare bearings.
