TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Cheapest // Best value mattress pump

Sat 02 Jun, 2018 9:04 am

Mainly for car camping as the new mats are simply huge and I am getting lazy.
The side benefit being no germs and moisture inside the foam of the new and very expensive sleeping mats.
Too lazy this AM to do my own reading and the last post on this subject is now old and out of date I am sure
Wondering if it time to buy a new 12V tyre pump anyway for the new car and it may be able to do double duty with an adapter

12V pumps don't have the displacement to inflate a big mat efficiently (ie takes ages)

make your own, just use a bigger inflation bag : http://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=21748&hilit=+bag

At our age and stage we don't mind waiting two or three minutes
