Still beats walking!
That is the one improvement they could make to the Slime Power Sport I carry. it would be very helpful to know how much pressure you had in the tire during inflation instead of just eyeballing it like I had to. Course...if I hadn't left my tire gauge at home.....

I'm looking at a couple of other options. Both look good and come with built in pressure gauge. They are both about the same price around $30.00

They would be a lot easier to pack than mine,but i have tried several of that type,and they have all been very slow. the one's i had took 20 minutes + to pump up my bed/settee.Maybe those are better. Dont be taken in by the claims of a huge psi either,most struggle to make 60psi,some a lot less.

I saw those pictures of all you pack. You even have a full size shitter you haul around. I'm surprised you don't carry this with you.

When i wake up in the morning after a skinfull of "who hit John", i usually have a turd on the tailboard,and if i am any more than a dozen stride's away from a shitter,i am in trouble.Walking across a campsite all bleary eyed, trying to find one,or a convenient bush,is not for me.
