This Extendable Camping Tool Acts Like a Miniature Fire Bellow

— October 15, 2015 — Art & Design
Anyone who has gone camping can tell you the importance of being able to start a fire and this portable fire bellow is designed to help you do just that.

The 'V3 Pocket Bellow' is a telescoping metal tube can easily fit into your pocket and extends out to 20 inches in length. Made by Epiphany Outdoor Gear, this convenient and miniature fire bellow lets users focus oxygen into a fire without having to stick their faces so close to the flame.

Simply purse your lips and blow into the tube to allow a high concentrated stream of air to feed the flames as you initially start you fire. With this handy camping accessory, you'll be able to start a fire without worrying about losing any of your facial hair in the process.
