My buddy, Shon Blanchard, gave me four non-native fire-making materials to test - kapok (flash tinder), oakum, maya dust, and sotol (Dasylirion wheeleri). Thank you, Shon, for the gift of fire! Check out his pocket survival kits at @sn_limited on Instagram.

Thanks for watching, and, as always, Keep Doing the Stuff of Self-Reliance!
