Spent 45 minutes trying to find a leak in my sleeping pad at midnight
Camped up near Lake Almanor last weekend and woke up flat on the ground at 2am. Took me forever inflating and dunking the thing in the lake to find a tiny pinhole. Anyone else carry a patch kit in an easy spot or just me?

Start with carrying a patch kit in your jacket pocket every trip now, right next to my keys. @verafoster duct tape works in a pinch, but I noticed this same pattern everywhere in life. People always grab the quick fix instead of the real solution that takes a little more time. It's like how everyone uses their phone flashlight to find something in the dark instead of just turning on a real lamp. A tiny patch kit is lighter than a roll of duct tape anyway and actually fixes the problem for good.
