Broken x 2

The problem with this is moisture. I have purchased two of them and after a couple of months, moisture from breathing into it and the heat, just sits in the tubes and ruins the retainers. When you go to extend it, the clips from inside break and render the entire unit useless. Perhaps if it was not in a sealed tube or if there was one of those oxygen absorbers in the tube? I dont know, but what I do know is I am not buying anymore as I have reached out to the company twice and obtained "zero" response back.

skepticism turned to wonder once I saw it in use
by Caleb (5 out of 5 stars)

I head into the deep woods alone for days at a time on a regular basis. I am equally at home starting a fire by primitive or modern methods. I CAN start a fire in almost any circumstance. When I first ran across this product my reaction was "That would be nice to have, but not necessary. Blowing or fanning with my hat works just fine." Then I watched a youtube video where a guy used one and saw just how well it worked and had to have one. Long story short, I was right in my initial assessment, but I didn't realize just HOW NICE it was to have one of these. Besides the fact that I don't get smoke/ash in my eyes and don't feel like I'm going to singe my eyebrows this thing just WORKS. Seriously, you almost can't lose a fire as long as you have this. Every time I've shown this to someone the process is exactly the same. First skepticism mixed with poking minor fun at "the outdoorsman who needs a modern gimmick to start a fire" but all I have to do is use it on one fire and the immediate response is "I want one, where can I get it?" I have a fixation with quality gear because I have to rely solely on that and my own intuition in the woods and this is one purchase that I don't regret in the slightest. It goes with me on every trip.

Not a requirement, but a great way to increase efficiency of fire starting damp materials.
by Robert W. Keown (5 out of 5 stars)

Used 6-8 times. Device still in good shape. I treat mine with a little gun oil every time I coat my knives, hatchet and other gear. It needs a little lube to prevent binding.

Although an experienced bush person doesn't need this, it is fantastic for reducing the amount of time to create fire in damp conditions. For novices, this could well be the difference between success or failure. It is small enough to be a single-use tool, important for those of us who want versatility. I

The pocket bellows also puts some distance between you and the combustion, reducing irritation. After a few days in the bush, I find my nose and lungs really start to get sensitive. We all know that, short of using a goodly amount of accelerant, firecraft in damp areas requires some up close and personal time with the flame, fuel, and embers. This tool makes literally gives you a little more breathing room.

I have recently used this in a state forest after a long, rainy period. There was no dry tinder other than bark-stripped branches, and no dry kindling. Using fat wood and jute from my own fire kit I was able to get a small tinder bundle lit. As I built up embers using damp kindling, I extended the pocket bellow and slowly begin adding air to the base. Within 5-10 minutes, and patience, I had increased the size of my coals and reached the critical temperature to start consuming the damp kindling. I ended up with a good fire in an area that had days of rain.

Great sturdy quality

Great sturdy quality. It's definitely no "car antenna"

I watched a YouTube video where a guy pours gallons of water on kindling and starts a fire right away. If it works that good it's worth the money.

As a bonus, you can blow on cats from a distance now, they never see it coming!

Perfect for the ultralight backpacker
by Dave (5 out of 5 stars)

I _really_ like this thing. It's incredibly effective in getting a large amount of oxygen to a very focused area. There's no fear of inhaling a bunch of soot and ash while trying to get a fire started up. It weights next to nothing, it's small, and will be a part of my pack for as long as I'm still doing primitive camping.

Awesome bellows and is made in the USA !
by Larry in the mountains of PA. (5 out of 5 stars)

This thing is awesome and is made in the USA , in Phoenix , Arizona !

It is well made , extends to a nice length and has a strorage tube to protect it when not in use.

Collapses to 3.5" and is 21" fully extended and weighs less than 1 ounce.

To use it , extend it open fully and blow into the fat end. As your breath travels through the tube , it is compressed by the smaller sized tubes and picks up speed.

V3 Bellows
by Fed Up (5 out of 5 stars)
September 11, 2015

Okay so it's basically an old school car antenna, but it works great!!! I have the original version as well and the V3 is better in every respect. More compact, a lot shorter than the original and fatter at one end so it passes more concentrated air. Comes in a nice tube too that easily fits in cargo pocket.

Went camping recently and my friends were having a hard time getting a wood fire going. I stepped in with the pocket Bellows got a roaring fire in a short time.

Everyone wanted information about where to get their own pocket bellows.

Very nice
by Tim Sylvester (5 out of 5 stars)

Great for wood stoves. Huge improvement over just blowing, and I can't bring myself to use a battery-powered gizmo.

Mine arrived with a slight blemish that won't come off with anything that won't also destroy the finish, but I didn't get it to be beautiful.

Action was also a little stiff, but a few drops of light machine oil made it nice and smooth.
