How to Make Cheap Pump Sack For Inflatable Mat Like Therma-a-rest NeoAir Xlite For Almost Nothing
In this video I use dry bag and bottle cap to make inexpensive pump sack for inflating my Thermarest NeoAir Xlite. I also make a small cap that converts it into a camp shower.
Tired and dizzy from blowing up your #NeoAir mat every night? Getting mold from your breath growing on the inside of the mat? Maybe you need a pump sack. #Therm-a-rest and few other companies make them but they are either pricey (~40$) or battery operated which adds weight to your kit. They are also not much more than a dry bag with a valve. I use one of my old dry bags and plastic bottle neck with cap to make both air pump and a camp shower. When not used as a pump the bag can still be used to haul your stuff.
The mat is Therm-a-rest NeoAir Xlite regular size
The YELLOW bag is 8L dry bag. - 13-15 repetitions
The RED bag is ~35L backpack insert - 4-6 repetitions

If you use microfiber, can you make a buffle box model?
I would think so but depends how warm you want it. I would do it larger buffles though as microfiber will not cling together as down does an will stay spread I made one for summer, super light 400g and not too warm but for summer or when travelling. Opens like a blanked too. Anyways, fibre is in a roll and stays together nicely, so I sew together from top to bottom in only few spots . If you plan on making warm bag i would not stitch through though and make buffles
This is the best video I found about the sleeping bag
Thanks! :)
Where did you got your down from? Only find pretty expensive ones
I bought down with feathers and sorted it myself. Look at my other videos , I made a vid how I did it. Cost wise it was around 20$
Good work my friend can you help me this project
Where did you buy the down feather?
Your channels amazing just found it you make all your gear. Same as everything it’s all nylon 😂🤙🏻 you’ve got some epic gear dude.
Thanks man
I suspected these were how baffles were done but thank you so much for showing clearly! I also purchased some ripstop from a local fabric store for wanting to use a spare down blanket (75% down fill) to make a bag but I was worried I wouldn't like the look of being able to see the feathers through the yellow ripstop. Any cons to lining it with cotton or suggestions for material? It's pretty darn see through. I have a darker color coming soon from RBTR.
@@jknotts9550 the inside liner is see through for me, but holding everything in fine. I didn’t do cotton to save on weight but it is best thing for the skin for sure
Добрий день. Невже в Америці такий самий паркет як у нас в п'ятиповерхівках? Дякую за відео
@@ВалерийМарочкин-ы6в а хто сказав що відео знімали в Америці 😜
Thanks for your videos and instructable article, i make my own thanks to you. In fact it was the first time I used a sewing machine 😅
Do you have another way please
Same exact design Dubber designs came up with and posted 7 years ago.
Where did you get the down so cheap? Everywhere I have looked it's well over $200 for the amount needed in this project!
@@Doriau i bought down from someone but it was with feather then sorted it out myself . I have another video that shows how i done it
where did you find this o-ring you used?
I think it was just a rubber one for the faucet
@@markomm5571 ok cool thanks!
How many yards of fabric did it take to make this ?
Top Fabric - SilPoly 20D (10yrd) Floor Fabric - SilNylon 30D (3.5yrd)
Beautiful place
How many hours did it take you to make?
I don't remember now but I think all in 5-6 days, not working all day but evenings
What do you sit on in it?
I just folded my knees. I also folded a sleeping mat on a different occasion
Thanks for this video! I’m planning build one. How tall are you baffles?
Dziękuję za film, dzieki Panu uszyje swój śpiwór. Pozdrawiam.
for what purpose did you use such a thick thread?
Thanks so much for posting!
I am new to the ultralight community, can someone give me an advice on some on-line shops where I can find fabrics with good price/quality ratio? Thanks in advance
I used this one the most www.Ripstopbytheroll.com
Thank you for making this video. I just inherited a very old down sleeping bag from my grandfather and want to refine the down to something I can use to make my 2.5cm loft ultralight quilt. He will be very proud to see my making a device like this ( he’s still alive). Now to source the materials and get to work. Even after buying all the materials it will be much cheaper than the $200 worth of down I need and a lot more fun.
Hey, what thread spool(s) do you use? Is it an Amazon purchase?
no I bought it from a local shop. Just make sure it is nylon as it won't rot
Nice! Looks like you did the Dubberdesign Shinto2 tent. Nice tent!
keren
Hi! Excellent video and build. A couple questions. First, did you use a straight-stitch to sew your baffles to inner/outer fabrics? You never mention what stitch you use, but looking closely at the video it appears it could be a narrow zig-zag perhaps. Second, what is the brand of the fabric glue you used. Just asking as I dont want what I choose to gum up my needle or feed dogs.
Hi, I have one question about connecting footbvox to sleeping bag body. Did You feel that this place is a cold spot? I wonder because as i saw in "profesional" sleeping bags footboxes are connected not only with one stitch, they do it "3D"
what do you mean in 3D? I did put like 3 lines I think. And , no cold spot in this one as I added more down to prevent it. Remember you stitch it together while bag is inside out and once turn out the layers overlap and it is quite cozy. Hope this helps
@@markomm5571 i mean 3d, that footbox Layers are not connected to each other but inner layer of footbox to inner later of quilt and outer layer to outer of quilt and there is space between. Like in thermos bottom
I am affraid only of this seam Connecting footbox to bag body. From this moment 35:43
I see. Well they are not connected BUT because there is lots of down and it is tighter around that area it forms nice thick part and I did not feel cold spot. I slept one night at -32C, in a tent and with another -7C rated bag as outer bag and this as inner and I felt good. I did of course have thick wool socks @@podziemne
How much down did you end up using? How much did you buy in the first place? i'm looking at getting 1LB of it but have no idea whether this is the right amount
one lb of down?
How much of the mesh did you buy?
hmmm...I think few yards, like 3. Leftovers to use for other suff
Super cool. Had to have taken forever to finish. Nice job.
not too bad. My tent took longer and packraft forever :)
Amazing skills mate. As a prepper its always nice to see a man who can use a sewing machine.
Thanks dude!
Yes, a zipper baffle is absolutely essential. Even if you'd have forgotten, it would be quite easy to have added one after. It wouldn't need to be attached to both the inner and outer fabrics. Just sewing a 'sausage' along one zip would be fine. Most manufacturers just do it that way.
great video! i'm expecting one DIY inflatable mattress! i haven't seen other person doing that, it should be amazing and you're capable!
Uuu Polskie napisy elegancko 💪💪💪
I know it's an old video but i was considering using a mix of down and chiengora (fancy for dog fur) It's one of the warmest fibers.
i am sure it will be warm, but heavier.
Id like to have a check valve do I dont jave to care abut the backflow then pressure builds up. Its simple to make. A bearing ball and aquarium hose (2 dimensions where the smaller outer diameter is the same as the larger inner diameter) and glue the tubes together with the bearing ball inside the bigger tube. Backflow will make the bearing ball seal against the the smaller tube. There are variants on this , still all are the same
Hey Marko, danke fürs Video! Kannst du mir verraten, wie die Gaiters an der Ferse deiner TX4 ohne Klett halten? Ich verstehe es im Video leider nicht, und möchte wenn möglich auf den Klett bei meinen TX4 verzichten.
What is the mesh in the baffles for?
Ugh! I had to tweak the pattern. 9 cm at the top with 18 cm total to slip over my foot is much too small!
Found this video at the perfect time. My project has been sitting on a shelf too long. It's patially sewn together. I'm at the point where outer, inner and sipper will meet... Looking forward to finishing it with the help of this video!
p.s. What type of glue do you use? And what's your experience with this thin type of double sided tape to keep stuff in place? (and remove after sewing)
amazing job!
Thanks for sharing. I noticed on the parallel stitches (reinforcing stitches), you go back and forth, left to right. This creates tension in the fabric, resulting in wrinkles. If you stitch in one direction only, the result is smoother and have less wear. A bit more work but worth doing.
good stuff! I enjoy making my own gear if possible.
Wow. Most genuine and best video I hv seen so far of someone who is taking diy trek to literal meaning. Kudos to you sir.
Great job on the bag, but that tarp set up looked like a prop from a Tim Burton film.
Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice video Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!!
Mad
Which fabric did you use for reinforcement? Awesome tent!! And also very inspiring!
Which part? For pole handles it was a piece of tough material, like backpack material. For corners it was just a piece of same fabric from floor material. Honesly, the one for holding poles is way too strong and next time I would not use it but something lighter
@@markomm5571 Thanks for this feedback! Do you think that using the fabric from the bathtub would be a good idea?
@@bythemountain yes , i think it is strong enough. It would be easier to work with and less weight
