    I was looking at this and thinking how it will probably get very tiring very quick using the hand pump, what if you had a rotary pump that you could attach the rear wheel of a bicycle to. All you would need to do is take a basic bicycles rear axyle and build it into a pump so that when deployed they would just need to find a bike and attach the pump to it. To me that would be a simple solution

    Looks like a handy bit of kit, I could think of a few FOB’s and PB’s that could have used this system to be less reliant on bottled water.
