[pct-l] threrma-rest with a leak and MSR

[howie@jschool.troyst.edu (Hungry Howie)]

Fill up your tub and your thermarest.  put the thermarest under water 
while applying enough pressure to push the air out and keep the water out.  
You should see bubbles.  Wherever the bubbles are coming from is where 
your leak is.  Then you can mark the spot with a magic marker, and apply 
the patch kit (which is the same stuff that CD uses when they repair).  
Then you're done.

BTW....Cascade Designs now owns MSR who owns Moss, Walrus, and Armadillo 
which are all now known as MSR tents (except for Armadillo which was left 
to die in the icky mud of capitalism).  MSR doesn't even have their own 
stationary or packing slips anymore...Kinda makes you wonder
