Offers home brewers the ability to conveniently pressurize small stainless steel kegs effortlesslyPortable, small, and lightweight, with no tanks or hosesQuick and simple to charge a keg in secondsEasy-to-use trigger valve allows precise control of CO2All brass inner valve parts will ensure years of reliability
I would stay away from using commercial air compressors and pesticide sprayers.
Just buy a Cornelius keg (they're about 50 bucks) and get a mobile keg charger like this. You can then connect a 1/4 vinyl line and then get a ball lock or pin lock disconnect (depends on the type of corny keg you buy) and then attach a picnic tap at the end. If you want it to spray just buy a bottle filling wand or a racking cane and shove it into the outlet of the picnic tap.
Or buy a CO2 inflator like this to initially pressure it.

No regulator, but it is technically C02. And you can keep the little refills in the cooler to chill them and bring as many as you want.
Obviously carb your keg at home with this solution. It would just be a way to expel the beer.
One thing you might consider is 2.5 gallon kegs. If you have some room to spare in your regular fridge, you could fit one of these in there and possibly get a small co2 tank or just use a keg charger like this:

Point being, if you put your mind to it, you COULD start kegging now. You'll never look back once you do.
Happy brewing!
If you want to be the best friend ever, listen up. A standard keg pump uses ambient air to pressurize the keg, which means the keg will go bad after a very short time. If you get a portable co2 system, it will cost a bit more, but I believe you will be considered the best friend ever. Here goes...
First you need the appropriate tap, which you have indicated is the S-type. You'll then need to get an MFL connector for gas hookup. While there, buy a party faucet with beer nut. You then buy the keg charger and mini CO2 cartridges (similar to those used in a pellet gun). I'll leave it to you to find Canadian sources for these products, but this is what you'd need.
you need something like this
Or you can get some 2 L bottles, one or more carbonator caps, and a ball lock fitting and air hose. You can hook those up to your tank's regulator and carbonate all the bottles you want.
You can also get a CO2 Charger and a ball lock fitting if you don't want to buy the big tank up front, but the running costs are a lot higher.
Either way, you can use your equipment to carbonate the water and use sodastream (or any other) syrup... or make and carbonate your own drinks.
you can probably find a CO2 bike inflator from Walmart or something that might be cheaper and easier than marbles, but if you're in a pinch, i guess marbles could to it. They also have argon inert gas in a aerosol that you can buy for like $10.
If you're into DIY, you might be able to do something with these:
Carbonate
Cap
I do the same thing, only I keep the spring assembly in the bottle filler in place. You can keep the cobra tap open the whole time, and push down to release the beer. I spill less this way.
I also MacGyvered up a hand held co2 charger to purge the bottles, as I fear the oxygen goblins.
Have to agree with everyone on here, a charger is the easiest way to go. Also they are small and relatively inexpensive.

I did last night it was easier than pie. Brought my carbonated keg over, put it on ice set up the picnic tap & used this. Then just remove & take home to put on your tap. Fresh draught beer at your friends. What's so hard about that?
Could keg condition, get 1 gas in and 1 beer out disconnect, some hose and clamps, one of these, and some co2 cartridges. Ice down the bottom of the upright keg in a spare cooler or bucket.
Just be careful with the keg charger. The first time i used mine i way over pressurized and got cups of head.
just bought this one for father's day, haven't used it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NV9CE6/ref=psdc_979840011_t3_B01IFXQAYS
