Ultralight Backpacking Air Pumps - Flextail Zero vs Tiny Pump

[@carlos_2856]

Good video, agreed about the Flextailgear tiny pump X versus the pump zero. I noticed the weight, price and additional features as well. I think people get too caught up with the looks of Flextail Zero.

Marketing and youtubers trying to make a buck definitely driving sales. Thanks for the comment!

The Flextail zero pump is my go to. My headlamp uses the same battery so makes battery management easier. Thanks for the video. And I agree, I would never pay full price for it. I bought when they were doing the first run so it was cheaper.

Sounds like you got your setup figured out! For my hunting purposes, I need/want my headlamp always at 100%. I really like having the lamp on the Tiny pump

@@CascadeBackcountryBrother the awesomeness of social media is that we get to discuss all this and help each other make good decisions on what gear works for our needs.

My current mattress has a pump on the end so I just have to step on it. Thanks for the video

Hey I was able to find the hmg but a 5 1/4 on Facebook couldn’t find the 5’6 anywhere how much of a difference is that 3 inches gonna make Or should I just go for the 5’6 hmg medium fast that one I am able to find Ps: been using shimano Clarus

If you're using it as an ultralight rod for backpacking and fishing mountain lakes, it won't make any difference beside being easier to carry in your backpack

@@CascadeBackcountrysweet thank you video quality is also looking great

@@stendo3402 thanks!

You know what’s even more ultralight. Your lungs. Do these work in packrafts?

[@CascadeBackcountry]

Lungs are heavy AF! 😆 I think the bigger ones would work on a very small packraft with pliable material but not on something like an Alpaca raft

I didn't even know they made "ultralight" gear that you have to bring a brick to inflate 😂
