Flipped a Fish Cat 4 last weekend

[Illinoisgiller]

The Fat Cat tubes have only a single valve and I need a pump to inflate mine. When I left my pump at home using the Fish Cat #4 I was able able to save a 100 mi. round trip and inflate it without a pump. I cannot do that with the Fat Cat valve. I also have to carry an adaptor and bought a piece of plastic hose to adapt the cheap hand pump to the Fat Cat valve

Patch material for the Fish Cat #4 bladders are available most anywhere, but the Fat Cat bladders require "special" patch material.
I realize these wouldn't be more than slight inconveniences to most ,but I'm trying to get my weight back in the 200 range and will be happy to get out of my Fat Cat and in the Fish Cat#4.
