Hey guys I know I read this article before but I can't find it. Just got my tube yesterday a Cumberland I ordered from cover bonanza and how do you decide on a proper inflation pressure? I'll be going to the sierras next week. Thank you in advance

I just inflate my tube until it feels nice and firm. I go by feel. One thing you should know is do not fully inflate your tube at home then take it to go fishing. The change in pressure and altitude might cause it to pop. When I go fishing I either leave it half way with air or completely empty. The good thing about the Cumberland is that the boston valve lets out a little air once it hits a certain PSI to help it against popping!
