my pack, but I need to be able to inflate it in a reasonable period of time.
Any of you guys have a suggestion. Something small enough to be packable
and can inflate the tube in a short period of time to full pressure?
Remember I also have to pack in water, (a snack if I stay all day) and my
fishing gear along with reasonable safety gear.

hey Bob La Londe, what i would like to say about float tubing, Float tubes are truly a great invention for anyone who enjoys fishing. Float tubes are lightweight, very affordable and ultra-portable. For an angler on a budget and who needs a "floating platform" for fishing on remote lakes or smaller bodies of water, float tubes make an excellent boat of choice.
That said, float tubes aren't for everyone. As float tubes are frequently bought by anglers - only to be stowed away in an attic somewhere once the limitations of a float tube have been realized - this section of Big Sky Fishing has been added. Hopefully, it will help any person contemplating a purchase of a float tube decide whether they should get one in the first place, and if so, what kind to get and where to get it.
