Camping, outdoor BBQs, lounging on the beach, or just traveling another mile down the road, here is something that just might be fun to have. The manufacturer says it is easy use: Take it out and open the bag against the wind and you are just several seconds from unfolding to enjoyment. No air pump needed.  Well, there is a little more to inflating this puppy then holding the two separate bags to the wind.  In fact, with no experience and without the aid of watching a YouTube video, my first attempts were exhausting as I ran and waved the bags over my head and opened and closed the ends in attempts to fill the bags with air. After a shower & a YouTube video I, too, learned that it is all in the technique! The bag can capture air with the right scooping motion, but no matter what you do, it never appears to be enough.  The trick is to scoop two or three times with the ends open, then rapidly close the ends, followed by rolling up the ends quickly. As you roll the ends, like you would roll the ends of a tooth paste tube, what air you have captured will be pushed into the decreasing volume of the bag.  Puff, you have a Bean (less) Bag Chair.  DSC00103
This inflatable is lightweight, compact, and easy to transport in the handy storage bag with adjustable shoulder strap.  Measures 15″x8″x4″ when stored, and can (hypothetically) inflate up to 7 feet long, over 3 feet wide, and 2 feet tall (if you have the aid of hurricane winds to inflate it).

Warning! When you get it inflated, or if you get it inflated at all, BE CAREFUL sitting or laying down for the first time. The bag can roll you around like you were out to sea, and if you’re not careful you could be overboard laying on the ground next to it.  Takes a little practice.

Will take Lopez 2016 on the BTB adventure for further evaluations.
