TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Do I need some special patches or will a bike tube repaor kit work ???

Thanks for any info.

Roofing silicon.
Still going strong since that repair. Any fabric will work, it will be the silicon providing the airtight seal, I used some old polyester pack-cloth I think.
