Topeak Mountain/Turbo Morph. It's a fair bit bigger than most compact pumps (though similar size to old style frame-mounted ones). It will inflate a tyre with a few strokes, no furious pumping needed.

I use a lezyne one but i agree that any larger volume - yet still compact ish- pump with a foot stand will do. its not like we dont have space in our packs for one.

MTB morph or a one of the cheaper clones of it (M-part maxair 2 sport)

I use a Mountain Morph for the fat bike and a Mini Morph with the hardtail.

I've an aversion to Lezyne (and other) pumps with screw-on heads as they've an annoying habit of extracting the valve core on tubeless valves when you take the pump off. Yes I could lock down the valve core but I shouldn't have to and when you are out in the middle of nowhere your tools should work with you not against you. (Sorry, end of rant)

it comes with a push on adaptor and yes i have had that happen - never with my tubeless one as they are stuck with gum 😉

Truflo 2-stage kicks the arse out of the Mountain Morph. Though it does have a screw-on, it's not like the Lezyne one- it'll only remove the valve core if you've left it loose.
