My least favorite camping task used to be pumping water.....I hated it after a while. Then the platypus clean stream gravity filter came into my life (hello beautiful, busy this afternoon?).

Now I dislike blowing up my Big Agnes sleeping pad. If I hike the high country I will probably pass out trying to blow the thing up.

Has anyone tried one of theses?

I have the Exped Schnozzle for mySynmat UL7 and DLX9 and Exped pillow and love them. Much easier than the DLX built in pump and I hated blowing them up by mouth, not to mention what I imagined my exhaled breath was doing in the down and synthetic fibres. Let us know how it works. Curious why MP is getting rid of it.

I use something similar for my Thermarest Neoair.

I also hated blowing the damn things up and found the pump sack works really well plus you're not blowing in moist air.

With the abundance of "hot air" around here blowing up our collective air mattress of choice shouldn't be a problem. Wink Grin Grin

On a serious note, the first few days in the relatively pristine air of the Q, I get a little bit congested when I exert myself but after a few days, I can feel the difference and notice my lung function is much better.

i don't mind blowing the pad up but don't like the idea of blowing moist air in there. I've got an REI pad. Exped says "for exped" wonder if that one will work for the REI pad?.

It is in the mail.  It would not stay attached to my air mattress so it was a lot of fiddling around. Now I do not use an air mattress.

Like Bill Conner I got an Exped Schnozell and Exped Synmat UL7 set up this year at Copia and used it on my Saganagons solo this year. I thought the Schnozzle worked great. Quickly and easily inflated my mattress. I highly recommend it.

It won't. Went to Philmont year before this and other adult had REI almost identical to my Synmat UL7 and did not fit.
