      Ummm, seriously?


      Bacteria and moisture from lungs get trapped in pad if you blow it up. I use Exped Minipump.


      I bought one of those Exped pump/pillow devices but didn't like it, took too long as a pump and the pillow wasn't much better. Got one of those Schnozzle dry bags, love it, weighs 2 oz, fills the pad in about 15-20 seconds, 1.5-2 bags full to fill pad, you can use it as a dry bag also.

      Mine is not the pillow pump. it is the mini pump. Takes even longer. I saw a lot of items designed to save "precious" time. Mostly stoves. I have five extra minutes. Having said that, the schnozzle loves like a very good idea.

    • Pack Cover

      It's custom. Took the cover to a sign company that I had emailed the art to. People driving Priuses give me dirty looks. I had it made a day after someone called the cops to report "a suspicious homeless man" one day. The cops were cool but it is now clear I am not homeless, I'm a hunter. Don't wanna be responsible for needlessly tying up the Sheriffs. Libtards in So. Mexifornia are just sooooo....(insert something good here).
