I looked online and found the Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket Bellows, which had good reviews. I liked the fact that it was collapsible and would fit nicely into my kit, so I ordered it. I have since taken it on about 10 camping trips and have used it many times. It comes in a plastic tube, which protects the bellows as it sits in my fire kit. It collapses into a very small package, so it doesn't take up much room at all. This makes it easy to take with you wherever you go and have a fire. The mechanics of opening and closing it works smoothly, and the metal construction is very durable. I have opened and closed it countless times, and it continues to function flawlessly. When opened, the bellows is long enough to allow you to get the end into the base of the fire but keep your face far enough away to not get burned. Based on the number of fires it has saved, it is absolutely worth the price I paid for it. This is a versatile tool for starting and maintaining campfires, and I have a purchased a second one to keep in the emergency kit in my car. I recommend that anyone who builds campfires have one or two of the Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket Bellows.

We start by using rust resistant brass alloy shims to connect the tube sections together (unlike the vast majority of 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. With your basic car or radio antenna, there are a number of other problems that limit its function as a bellowing tool.For instance most antennas, once you remove that little ball on the end with the solid tube, it will work adequately... ONCE. When you collapse it after cutting off that little ball end, the end will fall into itself and you will need needle-nose pliers (and extreme patience) to extract because that's what the little ball is for. We engineered the Pocket Bellows to never have this occur.You can crush the fat end or turn up the skinny end, but you take the chance of damaging the whole works, and it will still rust then fall apart. Also, some antennas use magnets to hold links together and when you collapse it the darn thing just falls apart in your hand. How embarrassing! 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.Antennas have their uses. If you find yourself in an emergency situation facing hypothermia/exposure, please go ahead and rip that baby off your '87 Grand Torrino or Vega if you happen to be road camping. BTW , have you ever tried buying an antenna WITHOUT the motor? I wouldn't suggest cutting off your emergency radio antenna but what the heck. Save yourself! The $$$$ replacement cost will look good compared to the loss of a couple fingers or toes from frostbite. And if you're dead from exposure, well you won't need a radio then anyway. Thanks to all of you that have purchased our Pocket Bellows and Baddest Bees Fire Fuses! (100% natural tinder that's the best on the market!) And for those that haven't, we (EOG) really are the best answer to get that wet wood fire blazing out in the bush. Works great in fireplaces also. And barbies and fire pits and I could go on and on. Life is about fire! Pappy **Q: I use surgical tubing with a 3" piece of copper tubing jammed up into it at the fire end for heat resistance, Does this offer any advantages to that?** A: It's a space saving thing. I've been using a 10" long piece of 1/4" i.d. copper tubing jammed inside a piece of plastic tubing that I've used for years. It takes up a little more room, but it doesn't kink and become useless crap that you have to pack out... **Q: Were is it made?** A: The short answer is that a substantial amount of value was added to it within the U.S.A.. I am not a lawyer... Others have posted pictures of the labeling that says: "Country of Origin U.S.A." and "Assembled in U.S.A." From what I am reading the first phrase has legal requirements greater than the second. It may be that the sheet metal was manufactured elsewhere and the forming and assembly was done here. One web page suggested that some of the work may have been done in a place with ties to the U.S., e.g. Puerto Rico, but that was kind of vague. **Q: What are the actual dimensions? I don't see 6 x 10 x 3 inches in the displayed image.** A: I'm not sure how those dimensions came to be associated with the Pocket Bellows. Those are not what we posted. The outside packaging is 7.25" x 1.5" x 1.25", but the bellows are much smaller and fit loosely in the package. Without taking them out and ruining the packaging I can say the tube the bellows are in is about 4" long and .625" in diameter. The bellows themselves are just under 4" long and about .5" in diameter. My understanding is they extend out to at least 18-19" so none of the dimensions listed match the outside packaging, the tube or the bellows themselves.Keri-LynnFour Seasons Survival ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feeds Campfires the Oxygen It Craves! *by B***9 on June 2, 2026* I needed pocket bellows to round out my fire kit for camping.

Get this for your hiking/camping kit. *by J***W on September 24, 2024* I took the Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket Bellows on a long section hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and let me tell you -this little gadget is the unsung hero of my trip. It's like a magic wand for fire starting. One minute I'm huffing and puffing over a sad pile of twigs, looking like a caveman trying to discover fire, and the next thing I know - POOF! Flames, baby! The Pocket Bellows turns you into a fire-breathing dragon (minus the singed eyebrows). At first glance, it looks like a tiny metal straw that might belong in a spy kit, but once you extend it and start using it, you'll realize it's the key to unlocking your inner wilderness wizard. This collapsible tube made me feel like I had leveled up my camping game. With this in hand, windy conditions and damp wood didn't stand a chance! It’s basically fire-starting sorcery in your pocket. Oh, and the weatherproof part? Completely true. Rain, wind, or the occasional face full of campfire smoke - it kept doing its job while I looked like a seasoned outdoor pro. And let's be real, there’s nothing more satisfying than casually pulling out this telescoping tool, blowing some air into the fire, and watching everyone’s jaws drop as the flames roar to life. Instant campsite hero status. If you're hiking the PCT or even just lighting your backyard grill, the Pocket Bellows will make you feel like a fire-starting legend. 10/10, I’ll never go hiking or camping without it again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket Bellows - Weatherproof Collapsible Fire Bellowing Tool for Starting Fire- an Essential Camping Gear - Überleben Tindår Tinder Fire Starter Kit, Wicker Rope Kit - Fire Starter Survival Tool Kit, Waterproof, 60 Min Burn Time - Paraffin Wax Rope Hemp Wick & Bellow - Black Aluminum Sleeve & Slider Box - Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Saw, 9-Inch Blade, 7 TPI, Green --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8673782-epiphany-outdoor-gear-pocket-bellows-weatherproof-collapsible-fire-bellowing-tool](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8673782-epiphany-outdoor-gear-pocket-bellows-weatherproof-collapsible-fire-bellowing-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
