Review on πŸ”₯ Pack of 3 SE Telescopic Fire Bellows - Model OD-T291BP-3, Product Number ODT291BP-3 by Michael Briggs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for oxygenating a fire, but could use a little longer

Anyone who's ever built a fire outdoors (or in a fireplace) knows how it's done: you'll become something like find a log or branch. To fan the flames and let's face it, this works really well. But when you're hiking and starting a fire with flint or even a couple of matches, you need to air out the hot spot in the first few seconds, and that's what this tool is designed for. This telescopic SE fire bladder is really just a collapsible steel straw that you blow on. It's about 18 inches long when fully extended, which is good for starting a fire, but a little short if you already have some hot coals and are just trying to catch bigger wood. If you're camping in a van (or making a campfire in your backyard) you can just use a longer piece of PVC (and I have one), but this is a very handy smaller bellows - it fits easily in a jeans or jacket pocket. and it comes with its own small plastic carrying case. I definitely think it's worth adding to your hiking gear or giving to any scout you might have in the family. It's practical, cheap and works.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quality
