I've just pulled this from the new BCUK site, cos i stupidly deleted the photo's off here.
Here's how i made a very cheap home made alternative to a Exped schnozzel pump bag.
I was gonna buy a Exped schnozzel pump bag, to blow up my exped mat. But after looking on youtube for ideas, i thought i'd make my own. I'm really happy with the outcome, only takes 3 bag's of air, to inflate my exped dlx mat.
Here's how i made it, and materials needed.
1. Strong bin liner or builders rubble bag.
2. Garden hose spray nozzle.
3. Wine bottle cork.
I had a old garden hose spray nozzle, that i cut up and used. Cut a small corner off the rubble sack, small enough so you can push a finger through.
I pushed the male part of spray nozzle with thread on through the cut hole from the inside of bag.
Then i screwed the the female part of spray nozzle on to it.
Then i drilled a hole through centre of the cork, and started to sand the cork down, so it would fit snugly inside the nozzle.
And snugly in to the the inflate value on the exped mat.
So there you go folks, a nice and cheap way to blow up your exped mats. It works perfectly and better than blowing moist air in to them
I don't no what's happened to the photo's, they won't enlarge when you click on them, could one of the mod's sort it out please
