    Or use the pump sack as a pack liner

      You sure could. But in most cases, the pack liner is a little lighter than the pump sack. And this could also be a good alternative if someone doesn't already have a pump sack as it would be a little cheaper as well.
      But you're absolutely correct that the pump sack could be used as a pack liner or dry bag. I appreciate the idea.

      Thanks Liz. I used to just blow up my pads by mouth. But had one that I can see mold through the material. Really grossed me out. Trying my best to only use pump sacks now.

    Interesting hack. Was it hard to keep a good seal when pushing the air in?

      Not really once I figured out the technique. Had to figure out where to hold it (for my valve at least) so that it didn't close off the pad on the backside of the valve. Works great too because my pack is empty by the time I'm ready to blow up my pad anyway. So there is no inconvenience of needing to Dump out the pack liner or anything.
      Like I said, I don't see myself doing this if I had to do it every night for weeks. But its easy enough and worth saving a little weight and pack space. Would be good also for someone who doesn't already have a pump sack.

      @@CameronHall88 I’ll admit, you got me thinking about trying it! I have tried my pump sack a few times, and I think I could grow to like it. The pack liner is a much bigger volume though. Hmmm 🤔
