So I've been suckered into buying one of these....

The mat inflator has worked well so I'll give it a whirl if you can get bug free camping....

Its not really clear how it works or how long a pad lasts. You thinking of attaching it to a dynamo hub and your bike? ( not sure if that is sarcasm or a real question)

Nah, for camp - in fact more likely when camping off the motorbike where I tend to spend more time lazing around on a campsite.

That said, I had a couple of mosquito horrors in 2022 so I might take it with me on certain bike trips also.

Smidge works for ticks as well, according to the reading matter.
