Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket Bellow Collapsible Fire Tool
What is this sorcery?!
Pocket Bellows is an ancient fire-starting technology, molded into a modern telescopic hand tool. Start rolling fires with wet or dry firewood in minutes. Gives distance to the fire, keeping your face away from the fire when adding oxygen. Extends to 20″ and collapses to 3.5″ for easy storing. Includes carrying case.
Okay…so you blow into this thing and it helps oxygenate the fire. Why can’t we use something else on hand like MacGuyver?
The inventor says, “After a great deal of experimentation we designed our Pocket Bellows basically from the inside out. We start by using rust-resistant brass alloy shims to connect the tube sections together (unlike the vast majority of a standard antenna). Why is that important? My idiot son Austin pointed out that: “blowing through the tubes creates moisture, and moisture creates rust, and rust will destroy the bellows in short order. With brass and stainless steel, our bellows will last indefinitely.” At that point, I knew I had him for a reason. “
We like his snark!
He went on to say, “Then there’s the diameter thing that people here have commented on and it’s really quite important. We spent mucho tiempo (we’re from the Southwest and use that lingo) blowing thru different sized tubes to find the right dimensions and thickness. We endured endless jokes from our friends and I suspect some brain damage, but we found what was the best volume and length. Some were too big and some were too small. And one was just right! That’s the size we used.”
They also have something called Baddest Bees Fire Fuses they say are 100% natural tinder that’s the best on the market. And a fire triangle kit.
Some Reviews:
“Works great. Gets the air right where you need it. Just don’t make the mistake of inhaling through it.” (Oh my)
