There are times when going camping, hiking, or on a picnic, we suddenly find that we need too much stuff! So you need to prepare in advance, think carefully about your trip and take only the most necessary things … but also do not forget the necessary things! )))
For example, you have to remember that your favorite two-bedroom tourist mattress or boat is not inflated by a light sea breeze. It needs a pump! But which one? Compact, convenient, rugged, powerful, fast…well, let’s talk about that.
Varieties and types of pumps intended for tourism
1. Mechanical manual or foot operated
Works only with our hands or feet (depending on the model). This is very convenient because you can take these pumps anywhere. They usually do not take up much space and do not require any electrical power supply. True, to inflate the mattress will have to take breaks, all such manual (foot) inflation takes a lot of effort, and time besides. That is why men are often entrusted with this difficult task.

2. electric
Another name is “on and off”. Inflates quickly and can deflate the mattress just as quickly. Even a frail woman can do it. But you can’t carry such a pump far away – it only works on the mains. When camping, if you have a car, the pump can also be connected to it. But it’s perfect in the home.

3. rechargeable
Such a pump should be prepared for a hike at home, that is, to recharge. And yet we must remember that although the charge lasts for a long time, it tends to run out, and, of course, at the most inopportune moment.
4. Built-in pump
Pumps with a valve built into the mattress or bed – small sensors that are inside record the pressure. These mattresses can be adjusted for comfort (more inflated and firm or soft). Sensors react to changes and automatically inflate or deflate the mattress. They often come with a storage bag. Such a pump Of course, it is difficult to forget at home or lose, in addition he inflates quickly, and in the deflated form takes up little space. But! Such a pump can’t be used anywhere else, and it will be thrown away along with the bed/mattress.

Some important nuances
- It should be decided exactly for what purpose the pump is needed. If the inflatable cot is only used at home, the best option is an electric pump. All the rest can be taken on a hike or a trip. More powerful pumps are suitable for home beds and boats, and the mechanical pump is suitable for small objects, such as swimming mattresses (at the same time and pump up the muscles).
There are legends that an air mattress can be filled with air and with the help of a hair dryer. Probably in case you don’t feel sorry for your hair dryer at least))).

Still, a pump at hand is not a superfluous thing. The wise thing to do is to have a pump (of the type you like or fit) in your car. It can come in handy, and you can help someone on the road, to do a good deed!
