Various sources in USA and UK have been suggested for foot-operated pumps. 
I can't remember where I got the idea, and I have not yet tried it, but it
might be possible to modify the foot air-pumps sold for air mats and
inflatable rafts. You'd want an "accordion" style, not the beehive shape,
and I guess you'd want to have some sort of filter over the intake. Anyone
out there tried this or have other ideas?
