I inflate each time I tube. The wal-mart pump will also suck the air
out.
If I fish local, I use the shop vac to inflate and I just throw it in the
back of the truck. 5 minutes to the local bass ponds. If I go on long
trips with the camper and or boat, I inflate when I get to the water.
Just
plug the pump in and in less than 5 minutes the tube is ready to go.

Have you noticed any particular benefit to deflating your float tube every
time? I don't float tube, but my dad has a nice canvas covered float tube
with pockets, etc... He bought it at a sporting good show...15-20 years
ago
maybe. It has never been deflated since he got it. Seems to be ok. I
think he has only used it five or six times, but...
