[pct-l] Finding leaks in air matteresses (was Big Agnes HorseThief Bag)

[johnvonhof at comcast.net (John Vonhof)]

Mine developed a leak in Chile on the second of ten nights. I woke several
times on a flat pad, blew it up again for another two hours of sleep before
the cold woke me again.

The next evening, while I was spending hours patching racers feet, I tossed
the pad to a idle racer and asked him to find the leak. He found it and
patched it with a piece of duct tape that still holds.
