I find I can often find a leak without water by running my hands very

My technique is to pass the back of my hand over the inflated
tube - not touching, but as close as practicable. The tiny hairs
on the back of the hand are extremely sensitive, and you can
feel the air flow from even a very small hole.

Nah, doesn't work for me.

I must have very insensitive skin and hairs And forget the jokes
about the callouses
I think it only works once you've sensitised your skin by waxing and
wearing Lycra.

Until then, you could carry a collapsible bucket in your backpack.
