Morning Bikeit65. Firstly I've been running tubeless for approx 7/8yrs without any major issues. You'll need some tyreworms or plugs along with an applicator. Ideally you want some sealant that is compatible with what's already in your tyre. A syringe to put sealant into tyre and a valve core remover. It pays to have a spare valve core as well as sealant can congeal in the valve and make it awkward to seal sometimes. I've never had to use an airshot until recently and I made one using an old fire extinguisher. There's loads of info around and one good source is below. Malcolm was for a long time the go to guy on here for info of this type. Hope this helps.

Milkit do a great kit with everything you need. Their sealant is also very good

The kit is only suitable for replacing / setting up tyres and not for roadside repairs. See kit in link. Something along this line will get you going roadside.
