DIY Sleeping Pad Inflater

Brilliant! My Exped 7 takes forever to fill with the hand pump.

+1 on the above idea! I bought the inflation bag for my one of mats. Works ok, but way over priced.

Some people just have that knack. The simplicity of it makes me smile.

Nice work Tomcat!

Consider the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Mini Pump. Runs on two AAAs that you can borrow from a headlamp. Very small and light. Fills your pad 90% of the way, but doesn't have the strength for the last 10%. That's fine, because it will only take you one or two breaths.

that's a great mod!
