Somewhere, 100 years ago, I read of someone who cut a circle out of a (leather) shoe tongue, for an improvised replacement of the pumpleather.
I have actually tested this, and used a piece of my original basic training boots as a makeshift pump. I lubed it by chewing on it-it worked. Long term, it probably isnt the answer, but I made two meals using an old MSR Whisperlite stove, with that improvised method.
