I had a brain storm about using a CO2 cart to somehow air a tire in the field and found that someone already sells such a device.

Go to any motorcyle or bicycle shop to find them. I have carried one for years on my motorcycle. Some have a nice little flexable extention that can get to the tire through the wheel pant.
