Too many Flats...what to do?

When I went riding the other day, I had a flat caused by a rather large
thorn. When was loading the flat uni into the car, I noticed another
thorn. After patching the first two, I water tested the tire and found
two more holes. I assume thorns also caused those flats.

Question time:

Do any of you used any sort of tire goop to prevent the air loss in the
case of puncture? How well do they work?

Do any of you use those tube protecting strips? How do those work? The
thorns that stick my tire was about an inch long each and very sharp.
In fact, my dad went riding at the same place yesterday and got a flat
from a thorn that went straight through two layers of that protecting
strip.

Thanks,
Daniel
