I show you the easiest method and materials to make a primitive fire in South Florida. (Especially in wet conditions like I was facing). You'll see various tinders and see which is best to use. The cabbage palm offers everything from tinder, fuel, spindle, fireboard, bow, cordage, to kindling. It requires less burning of calories to get everything you need to make a quick, hot fire for any situation. Warning! Do not try at home and always be responsible while making or using fire.
