Hi everyone, Janine Pettit here from the Girl Camper podcast! Recently, I was thrilled to have an inspiring conversation with David Arias, co-founder of Pull Start Fire. It's a game-changing product that every outdoor enthusiast should know about because it makes lighting a campfire effortless.

**The Inspiration Behind Pull Start Fire**

Pull Start Fire was born from pure necessity. Mechanical engineering student Mike Beyrodt invented the product after a frigid camping trip left him without a fire. His innovative solution? A portable fire starter that, with just a tug, conjures a robust flame - even in challenging conditions. This is not only ingenious but a potential lifesaver, as it has already rescued a stranded elk hunter.

**A Game Changer for Campers**

This isn't just any fire starter. Pull Start Fire ignites your campfire in five seconds, sparing novices and experts alike the hassle of traditional fire-starting methods. Having personally experienced countless campfires, I can vouch for its reliability. Whether confronting damp wood or simply wanting instant gratification, this little magic box is a must-have.

**Expanding Access and New Innovations**

Pull Start Fire is more accessible than ever, available at a variety of retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, and local camp stores. Additionally, the Pull Start team is working on a new portable grill that promises hassle-free, flavorful outdoor cooking. Expected next year, this grill lights up in seconds and maintains a steady heat for hours.

**Entrepreneurial Spirit**

This story isn't just about a product; it's about the perseverance of entrepreneurship. Mike Beyrodt's journey is a testament to innovation and determination in today’s competitive market. The team's efforts have cleared regulatory hurdles and ensured each Pull Start Fire is dependable, with a remarkable success rate of just one failure every 600 pieces.
