I keep my opened tube + a spare tube of glue just in case. When patching at home, I use the opened tube and haven't had a problem yet over several years.
This is exactly what I do. Squeeze the tube until a blob of glue appears at the opening then cap up. Although I've never dated my open tubes, I'd guess that they may still be good after a year.

I, too, recommend Rema TipTop. I've used their patches and glues for 50 years with nary a problem.
