I spent 70 nights in a tent this summer bicycling from New York City to San Francisco. The impeller (fan) inside died before the 21st use. Needing to save weight, I just threw the unit away and dispensed with the hassle of a return. I did buy the larger unit (orange). It worked like a trooper and the larger battery could even charge my gps (bike head unit) in an emergency
Another little thing I bought because of you. This, the Klymyt isolated and a chair (well, the chair was an Steve's influence). You and him give great advice, every piece is an improvement. Thanks.
In the woods this week and loving sleeping on my big agnes sleeping pad. And it is super easy to inflate with the flextail pump. Bought both after seeing them on Dans channel. Thanks Dan.
It's a great little piece of gear. I picked one up after seeing it in one of your videos last year. It's great to hang from the top of my tent too for the light.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Thermal conductivity of air is 0,025 W(m.K) and water is 0,598W(m.K). If you put more water in air, it conducts better.
Airpads have better R when fully inflated. TinyP's motor gets warm and blows warmer air in the pad(also breath). Warm air will shrink when it cools. Top it up. Pump bag seems a better option.
Personally I would rather skip the light on it and bring an actual flashlight or lantern that I can swap batteries on. Otherwise I suspect it will need to be charged all the time if used in both roles constantly. Which means bringing a heavy battery bank
I used mine a few weeks ago backpacking. My wife and I are so impressed. Super duper pump. I will buy the next size to blow up my wife's paddle board. 😃👍
@danbecker Love your videos! Thanks for helping reinspire me to get back into backpacking. Just a heads up, the link to the air pump on Amazon isn’t working. Maybe it’s just me but wanted to let you know in case other people are having the same issue. Love to give you credit for sharing the link.
We have two, the one you show (when did they add a light?) and the larger one. My older small one doesn't hold a charge. I really wish they sold a version without the battery and let you use an external battery pack.
Open it and solder the USB C port to the motor, ignoring the internal dead battery and hook up an external battery????? Or exchange the dead internal battery with a new one????
@@jorgedominguez7259 have you ever seen what's inside a lung inflated mattress? I think you would find the answer there: besides, the condensation in the mattress reduces its insulation.
@@jorgedominguez7259 The thermarest bag weighs 80 grams and this pump is 100 grams and has a built-in flashlight that perfectly illuminates the tent. I think the extra 20 grams is worth it.
I resisted you youngins and all your fancy gear. I been backpacking since the 70’s Camp 7 external frames and 7 pound tents. But when your thermarest don’t self inflate any more and you lungs can’t handle the huffing and puffing of inflating the pad with what God gave you then it’s time to break down and enter the 21st century and get yourself a tiny pump. Because the alternative is a pump sack and they just suck after a long day of going and down/ repeat on the trail all day. 😊
such a shi....., it works by itslef into the bag.....as the result: no more light or air at evening ! And i don't talk about this so loud noise into nature... I resent it to amazon.

I just discovered it, checked on amazon and my first thought was that the orange one is way to go 😅. But the idea is really great.
This reminds me of that Jimmy Neutron meme with Sheen showing Ultra Lord to the class for the 7th week in a row.
You could use that to stoke a stubborn fire as well
Got one after watching your video. Love it for the compact size and no need to lug around the big one and "D" batteries!

Top deflates too. The rubber adapters are a bit fiddly for thermarest topo lux. But worth its weight in gold.

Just got mine today. Works fantastic. The brightest light setting is BRIGHT!
I have one, its great for the inner tubes and rafts at the beach. Battery really does last.
More importantly you don’t dump your hot moist breath into the pad reducing the pads R value in cold weather!
I don't know about the R factor but do know it's better for your pad to not fill it with the moist air from your breath.

I bought this because of you and I’m honestly shocked how much I use it. Even handy for big inflatable pool toys! It’s awesome.
Finally, found how loud it is. Thanks.

Honestly it’s nice to have the light, so it atleast can replace something in your pack.
Should also be able to be used for soda bottles to keep the high pressure so the CO2 won’t escape.
I don’t find anything like that.
Great recommendation. Been using mine for two years now.
Have this. Love it. Highly recommend
We have one and love it. No more giant footpump taking up space!
Love this piece of gear!
Absolutely love it too Dan! It can actually inflate my packraft (!) 5 whole times(!) on one charge. And it is a decent size raft. How cool is that?
Haha I’m using this on the JMT right now
Is the 2x better or not worth the extra $10?
I just put out a video about this pump. Hahaha I have my finger on the outdoor pulse

Does it come with a tip to fit the new Big Agnes Zoom UL?
I use one 1.5 year and i love it. It's a must have in my equipment.
Why not just use your lungs

@@prymusdw true but just use the bag they give you to inflate it

@@prymusdw to each there own. I understand
I have that pump! It’s the best!
What are the best pads to use with this
How much was this? Looks great
$30
Dan: Will this work with the NEMO Tensor Pad?
IT'S LOUD. It's nice till you turn on the pump
Does it work with the insulated Nemo Tensor?
Can this pump a twin size air matress
Love mine
Cool!
Can it fill party ballon’s ?😅
The Tiny x 2 is much improved version 👍 hit me up if you want one 😎

I have used mine to blow up kids inflatable toys at the beach, haven't had any issue inflating 4-5 toys back to back.
Will it blow up my paddle board? 😅
❤🙏♥️
Not a good experience with that!

And i don't talk about this so loud noise into nature...
