Then yes you could indeed blow air into your bladder with the auto inflator and pull air out of the manual oral inflator.
As to nasty bateria in the bladder I rinse mine and use the walmart brand mouthwash every time my BC has a nice Citrus smell and taste.
IS this a skill to put high on the list? Nope. But I have practiced drawing my sidearm from the ground, on my back, stomach, side with my left hand. I never intend to get into that position without the use of my right hand... BUT-- I have done it before should I end up there someday.
