Don't forget you can remove the plastic case on most air pumps to make them even smaller to fit in a tight spot hidden away if needed. Just watch out when using them as they tend to get very hot! The old one I have is about the size of a baseball, then also has the hose and power cord attached. You could even make these detachable if needed. It wedges nicely between the battery and rear fender on the C10. I plug it in every couple of months just to check it. And yes, I use the string plugs and have always trusted them (if i'm the one who did it).I ruined a strip down one when it ingest dirt from laying it on the dirt at a campground. Doh!
Sticky rope and 12v compressor for me. If it can't be fixed with that a cell phone and credit card is next.
^^^^^^^^^^^That. I went from The Rockies on to the west coast, then back to Tampa FL on a walmart plug named Jill.

FWIW, I was curious how many CO2 BB gun size cartridges it would take to fill my rear tire if it went down. It consistently gained 4psi for each cartridge with a total of 10 to get it to 42psi on my gage. That was way more than I wanted to carry so I bought a Slime pump.
