Not very germane to Hawaii. I hunted Elk in WA state for twenty years
so I guess I am too,  an expert fire maker.
Elk aren't bothered much by fire so you always build one in your Elk blind,
in the snow under a tree.
One or two stay in the blind an another pressures the animals to move.
Hopefully past the blind.
Illegal as hell, but, taken animals are shared with the camp.
Everybody gets meat in the freezer.

I am too lazy to build a fire using primitive methods.  In my emergency go bag, I have a butane torch lighter and a refill cylinder.  I also have a magnesium fire starter kit which I tried and successfully started a fire, but I would use the easy way first.  I also have a ziplock bag full of dryer lint, a great way to start a fire.
Happily living in Puna
