Wish I had a 10L bladder. My problem with an air mat is having to carry a pump as well. and some of the self inflating mats never seem to deflate to the original rolled up size.

Hence my suggestion of a hose from the exhaust tip to the airbed. Or have a good set of lungs

Depending on where you select your campsite, you can always collect a heap of vegitation and put it where you are going to put your tent or sleeping bag.

The mat I used "gerber?" worked well enough
I didnt use it one night, and the sand was cold and hard , no thank you
It took a few , a good few min ,,, to deflate and remove the air , 99 % i suppose
a little bulky if anything and a tad heavy for pedallys

Wifey and I spent 5 months pedalling around Europe a couple of years ago, and we used these:

Worked well enough, even on some fairly hard ground. Easy to roll back up to their original size, too. Fold lengthwise and remove most of the air, then start rolling. One needed a patch about 3 months in, but otherwise they are still fine. Not the smallest or lightest version available, but they were only $40 a pop.

Aside: Watched a couple of guys in Geneva struggling to fold up one of those 2-second pop-up tents. For the laugh ,we dropped our Macpac Olympus & fly, rolled both separately and packed it all away before they finally figured it out.

Reckon you could take a hose instead of a pump and just link the exhaust to the air bed. Warm bed lol

12 volt pump takes up less space, tho if ya did it off exhaust it would be warm

Na, that's about $50 at current conversion rate. Given the bastards charge $100 (less $0.01 ) for those who need it RFN, I'd say you did ok.

Oh, and I've tried folding one of those stupid 2-second tents. Bloody frustrating trying to follow the instructions (my mistake). Grabbed the bastard by the corners and twisted and all magically came right.
