It’s not just the Yukon campgrounds that only take cash, a lot of the BC Parks Campgrounds also only take cash, unless you book and pay on line with reservations.
In 2016 when we were up to Whitehorse on the way up power outages from fires had knocked out the internet and again you needed cash to buy fuel. So out of 5 trips up north over the years, twice we needed cash.
As for spare tires, my truck already has a full size spare so I don’t pack a second spare. And when I had my 5th Wheel it also had a spare. I do carry a small spade shovel, a 24” spud bar, a 20 ton bottle Jack and some short chucks of 2x6 for Jack blocking. I always carry a 12 volt compressor and a tire repair kit as well, as we are always off on some logging road fishing, and up in the bush, there is usually no one.
My kids also bought us an Garmen Inreach 2-way communicator GPS just because we are always out in the bush on our SXS or our snowmobiles. Saw a lot of the local guys who work in the bush around Stewart last weekend with those Gramen Inreach clipped to their belts
