Different ways to make fire in the wilderness with nothing except sticks and wood and string?

ok So I know some of the basic ways to make fire in the wilderness. Like the bow drill the rubbing of two sticks and the one where you tye 2 small boards together with tinder and 2 rocks in between. But I need a way that is easier or at least something that I would be able to do here in northwest ohio or at least somewhere near here.Different ways to make fire in the wilderness with nothing except sticks and wood and string?
The bow and drill is the best method. However, you probably need to use the right materials.



The bow should be made of a stout green branch or hickory or maple. It should be about 3/8 to 1/2 inch in diameter and about 18 inches long.



The drill should be dry oak or dry maple about 3/4 inch in diameter and 12inches long. Stiff and straight.. Any green hardwood will work for the brace, The green wood can be slippery by itself but ideally it needs some sort of lubricant. Soaking it in water can be effective.



The wood you drill and the tinder are most important. The best tinder in Ohio is yellow birch bark. This is easier to find in northeast Ohio than northwest.. Yellow birch bark is oily and works even when wet. The wood you drill should be dry and soft. It should fit the drill well and have a good sized slot at least 1/2 inch wide on the outside for the tinder.



Preparation is the key. Before you start have a good pile of small tooth pick sized dry sticks. and supply of dry sticks of incrementally larger sizes.



In general starting a fire from scratch, that is starting with no materials can take hours or the whole day. The key is to be patient. Get the right materials together before you waste energy with the wrong ones.



Have everything close by, and make sure you have a stable work area. When you get a little smoke keep going until there is a good amount of smoke.Then blow lightly until you get a glow before touching it to the tinder. Once you have a flame on tinder slowly introduce the smallest sticks until you have a large flame that will ignite the larger sticks.
I have watched, Maasai tribesmen in Kenya start a fire with a hand rolled softwood stick, no bow, and a hardwood anvil with a small depression in it, using dried cow dung for tinder in less than half a minute. When I tried, using the same implements and some encouragement, it took me a few seconds under one minute to acheive a red hot pellet of dung which when coaxed by blowing brought flames to dry grass immediately. It is all in the downwards thrust of the rotating stick.Different ways to make fire in the wilderness with nothing except sticks and wood and string?
Tie the string onto two sticks with about two feet of string between. Make a loop and slip it over the neck of Native P. Demand to use his lighter or you will tighten the loop.
