Pocket Bellows - Weatherproof Collapsible Fire Bellowing Tool for Starting Fire- an Essential Camping Gear

AWESOME Product. I purchased one of these compact air bellows for fires about a year ago. I used it for my fireplace insert at the house. It functioned Perfectly. I was very well please, so I purchased several more for my camping supplies and as gifts to family members. I will say this set of bellows is the very best I have ever used. It was shipped immediately and packaged well. If you enjoy camping and have a hard time getting the campfire kick-started or bringing old embers back to life without any problems - - get these bellows. You will be Amazed. They even come in their own storage case, for simple handling. You will not be disappointed. They make everyone an Excellent fire starter, even in the dead of winter.

Compact little bellow that makes the best use of your exhales! I'm primarily using it for the backyard firepit, but the little tool is still so helpful! It prevents me from sticking my head into the smoke in order to give big puffs in attempts to get the fire going. This tool works wonders.

Kids were amazed when I pulled out this tiny tube, took out the shiny cylinder, and expanded that into a portable rocket launcher! Okay, maybe not THAT dramatic - but still, kiddos were interested as I used this to blow out the fire over and over again. You have to start by blowing gently, people. Next, learn where to aim; straight at a coal is good, but through a "hot coal tunnel" is the real game-changer - especially if the resulting heat flare blows over some lightweight fuel or kindling. It then can be collapsed and returned to it's tube so that it is easier to find and protected. This is a high-quality, durable, compact tool that should last you for years, great for spreading - not starting - a spark. It has to have something to work with, so please use it to help a bed of coals catch into a fire or to blow sparks and heat where you need it. Great value. Get one. Just don't lose it and have to buy another ;)

Works wonderfully

This provides a way to direct air to the proper area of your fire to get the flames going. It is compact and stores in a pocket for easy access when needed. The only drawback I've found is the moisture stays inside when storing it from blowing through the tube. Ive noticed some rust on the inside where you blow into the tube. I have started leaving it out and extended for a while to allow it to dry.

Bought this about 18 months ago. With pretty much weekly use it has unfortunately started to show its age. Buying a replacement now, for $15 for what’s essentially a retractable car antenna it has proven to be worth every penny. I would highly recommend. It’s small and compact and comes with its own protective container. Perfectly small for any camper/backyard fire pit to bring and start them fires quickly.

This little tool is fantastic it really helps get a fire going fast especially if you have wet wood and a little bit of dry material built to fire this weekend with it and in no time had a blaze and fire going. And it is metal extendable and very well made

Small, very light weight, fits anywhere but best of all… works well!

Works as advertised. Sure, it's "just an antenna" like others have said, but where can you buy an antenna that works for this purpose perfectly? I've been struggling with the winter weather and my sort of dry-ish but snow covered wood in down to 0F weather and this has been able to create way hotter fires with way less fire starter/kindling without all the light headedness and hot face than before. Absolutely recommended!

Tanto semplice quanto indispensabile per avviare un fuoco con legna bagnata

Works amazingly. Highly recommend this.

this is not good

I misunderstood what this product was - rather than a pump, it is a straw you blow through to more precisely direct air to the fire. It is useful, but when I think of bellows, I don't think of a collapsing straw, and the cost was high to get to the UK. It helps, but just isn't what I had expected.
