It’s going to be cheaper to grab a normal bicycle pump, because you’re not filling up an aero mattress or anything. These use very little amounts of air, because they’re not filling each individual rod, they’re just acting as aluminum supports do in conventional tents. You can get an automatic pump, but unless you have other items you’re going to use it on, we think it’d be a waste of money. One small bike pump, or a foot pedal pump, and you’ll be good to go when it comes time to setting up.\r
