Questions & Answers

If this isn't what you'd bring from a radio, what's the difference between it and bringing an old antenna from one?

We at Epiphany Outdoor Gear would like to share the following info Dear user, we developed our Pocket Bellows literally from the inside out after a great deal of experimentation. As an alternative to the vast majority of standard antennas, ours is made with rust-resistant brass alloy shims to connect the tube sections. What is the significance of that? It was pointed out to me by my idiot son Austin When air flow is made through the tubes, moisture is created, and moisture creates rust, and rust will destroy the bellows within a short period. We will be able to use our bellows indefinitely thanks to brass and stainless steel. I knew at that point that I was with him for a good The car or radio antenna that comes with your car or radio suffers from a number of other problems that limit its usefulness as a blaring device. In the case of most antennas, once you take out the solid tube on the end of the ball, the antenna is capable of working. ONE TIME ONLY. As soon as you cut off that little ball end, the end will collapse in on itself, so you will need a needle to keep it from falling apart. Normally, you would need nose pliers and patience in order to remove it since that is the purpose of the little ball. The Pocket Bellows are designed to give you zero chance of this happening. While you can crush the fat end or turn up the skinny end, but then you risk damaging the whole structure and it will rust and fall apart. In addition, some antennas use magnets to hold links together, and when you collapse them they just fall apart. How humiliating! Also, there is the diameter issue, which is very important and has been mentioned here quite a bit. much time blowing through various sized tubes (we're from the Southwest, so we use that lingo) to figure out the right dimensions and thickness. It went on for a long time and we experienced endless jokes from our friends and I am convinced we did some brain damage, but we nevertheless found what was the right It was too big for some and too small for others. One of them was right on the money! So that's how big it was. In addition to their usefulness, antennas have other purposes. The next time that '87 Torrino or Vega is on the road camping trail, feel free to rip out the baby off your car if you find yourself in an emergency situation with hypothermia or exposure. By the way, did you ever try to buy an antenna without the motor attached? would not recommend cutting off your radio antenna for emergency navigation, but what the hell. Your life is at stake! Even though the $$$$ replacement cost might seem high, it will be a more attractive option than losing a couple fingers or toes to frostbite. And if you do die from exposure, you won't need a radio. I would like to thank all of you who purchased our Pocket Bellows and Baddest Bees Fire Fuses. The best natural tinder on the market! 100 percent natural! And for those who have not yet experienced our services, we (EOG) are the best option for blazing out that wet wood fire in the wilderness. Worked great in the fireplace as well. I could go on and on about barbies and fire pits. The key to a happy life is fire!

In the past, I have used surgical tubing with a 3" piece of copper tubing jammed up into it at the end for heat resistance. Is there an advantage to doing this?

How much more thrust does a jet engine produce than a piston engine? Everything you do starts small and ends in When going from a large opening to a smaller one there is no noticeable increase in the flow of air It is as if you blow on a tube of air while we are barely giving you medium lung power and producing a steady jet of air that sounds and feels like a forge bellows, and have a few feet of unmeltable reach over your three inches tall. In addition to storing smaller than even a copper tube, and being lighter as well. There are a lot of advantages to being on the cloud. You can get rid of your repurposed trash by getting off your wallet. The right tool makes a difference in the quality of the work. This is well worth the money.

Is there any information about the actual dimensions of the object? It isn't visible in the displayed image that it is 6 x 10 x 3 inches. ?

How those measurements came to be associated with the Pocket Bellows is unclear to me. There is nothing like that on our site. Approximately 7 inches thick is the outside packaging. The finished measurements are 25" by The image size is 5 x 1 inches. There is a 25" opening on the package, but the bellows are much smaller and don't fit tightly. Since I cannot take the bellows out of their packaging and ruin the packaging, I can only tell you about how long the tube is and how long it is. The diameter of the circle is 625 millimeters. It measures slightly less than 4 inches long and a little less than 10 inches in diameter. The diameter of this wheel is 5". According to what I understand, they extend out to at least 18 There are no dimensions listed for the outside packaging, the tube or the bellows themselves, so none of them match.

Selected User Reviews For Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket Bellows - Weatherproof Collapsible Fire Bellowing Tool for Starting Fire- an Essential Camping Gear

There are two broken pieces
3/5

There is a moisture problem with this. My two retainers have been ruined since I bought them, and after a couple of months I noticed the tubes sat with moisture and heat from my breath. There is a problem when trying to extend the unit from the inside. The clips break and the entire unit becomes inoperable. Could it have been even more effective if it had not been in a sealed tube or if there was one of those oxygen absorbers in there? While I am not sure of their answers, I do know that I will no longer be buying from them as I have contacted them twice without any response.

Obviously not a requirement, but also a great way to increase effectiveness of damp materials in starting a fire
5/5

The number six was used The number of times is eight. Overall, the device appears to be in good condition. Whenever I coat my knives, hatchet, or other gear in the good stuff, I treat mine with some gun oil. To keep it from binding, it needs a little lubricant. The good thing about this is that it is good for reducing the time it takes to create a fire in damp conditions, even if unneeded by an experienced bush person. Novices need to be cognizant of this, as it can make the difference between success and There are only a few parts in it, so it can be a single-piece device We need versatility from our tools if we want to use them effectively. In addition, the pocket bellows offer some distance between you and the flame, making it less irritating. In the bush, I find my nose and lungs get very sensitive after about a few days. We all know that, short of using a large amount of accelerant, firecraft in damp areas demands close proximity to the fire, A tool like this allows you to breathe a little easier. It has been useful to use this product in a state forest after many rainy days. It was impossible to find dry tinder except for The branches were stripped, and no kindling was dry. Through the use of fat sticks and jute I had in my fire kit, I was able to light a small tinder bundle. The pocket bellow was extended, and the air was slowly added to the base as I built up the embers using damp kindling. During the next five days It took me 10 minutes and patience to increase the coal size and reach the critical temperature for the damp kindling to be eaten. In an area that had been getting a lot of rain, I ended up with a good fire.

These bellows are of the highest quality and are made in the USA! You won't believe this awesome device is made in the USA, in Phoenix , Arizona! A sturdy, well-made reel extends to a nice length, has a storage tube for protection when not in use, and comes with a carry handle
5/5

The number collapses to three. A fully extended length of 21" and a weight of less than 1 ounce makes this a perfect travel companion. The way it is used is to extend the fat end fully and blow into it. The smaller tubes compress your breath as it travels through the tube, and it gains speed as it speeds along.

I was skeptical at first, but I became curious once I saw the application
5/5

The deep woods are a retreat that I frequent on a regular basis for days at a time. Either primitive method or a modern one will do to start a fire for me. The chances of me starting a fire in almost any situation are high. I thought that this product would be nice but not necessary when I came across it for the first time. I have always realized I can blow or fan with my hat. I then watched a YouTube video where a guy used one and saw just how well it worked and I In summary, I was right in my initial assessment, but I didn't realize a security system like this could be so damn nice to have. In addition to the fact that I do not get smoke or ash in my eyes or feel like they are going to burn my eyebrows, this thing just works. It is almost impossible to lose a fire as long as this is around. I have shown this exact same process to each person I have shown it to. First, there is skepticism mixed with some light humor about "the outdoorsman who needs a modern gimmick to start a fire" but all I need to do is use it once and the response is "I want one, where can I get it?"? My fixation with quality gear has to do with the fact that I have to rely solely on it and on my own instincts when I'm out in the woods, and this is one purchase that I don't regret in the least. It goes everywhere with me. ". The following are the updates for the year 2020 The same one I bought in the beginning still works for me. My favorite game of all time. The fire kit is still a very important part of mine.

It is an essential item for any camper and backpacker
5/5

It must be said that this is now my new favorite item to bring with me, given that I always seem to have to start the fires on our camping or backpacking trips. The first thing I want to do when the other campers are snug in their sleeping bags and tents in those early mornings with chilly temperatures is get the fire going so I can enjoy some quiet time alone while the others are asleep. By having the Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket Bellows I don't have to go gathering kindling every time the fire gets going since I am able to keep it going if it fails. Additionally, it works well in keeping the flames nice and hot when my wood is moist or green. In the first instance, I bought two. One to carry my camping gear and one to carry My friend will get it as a gift this week since I bought another one for her just this week. You can give it as a gift (at a reasonable price) to that special someone who has everything and loves to camp out. There's no doubt in my mind that it's worth the investment.
