How can I locate the leak in a inflatable pad

+2
−0

I went camping last trip and my nice inflated pad... deflated. I always carry a patch kit but I discovered another issue: I couldn't find the leak. The leak was small. It took quite a while of me lying on it for the pad to deflate. I was not able to locate the leak in order to patch it.

How do you locate a small leak in an inflatable sleeping pad?

Take a bath.

Fill the bath tub with water and the pad with air, and put the pad underwater (if it's too big to all go under at once, check section by section). You should see bubbles coming out of the leak.

This is of course the easiest way when there's a body of water (or a bath tub) available, but oftentimes this isn't the case. Especially on a trip.
