The scenario doesn't matter and should just be ,"I would like to learn how to make a fire with out anything other than is found in a given area naturally."
You would have to specify the ecosystem if you want specific materials named.
There aren't any ways to make fire without tools, as when you make your kit it will become a tool.
If in my region of South Florida, I would navigate to a hardwood hammock. If that is impractical, for what every reason. I would look for pines.
These will be drier than the other environments. You are already at a disadvantage because of daily rains and higher humidity we experience much of the year.
I would not even attempt primitive fire until you can assemble a fire that you can start every time with one match. And then have mastered the type of primitive fire you are going to attempt, first with the use of tools. That means using man made cordage and possibly a man made bearing block while learning the types of wood and tinder bundles. Once you have that skill dialed in you will have eliminated some of the more frustrating things about primitive fire starting.
Then I would add either a foraged bearing block or cordage.
In my area there are always Coastal plain Willow, Cabbage Palm , Elderberry, and Strangler Figs. My preferred kit is willow on willow. I would use cabbage palm frond for a bearing block. It is almost ridiculous the number of tinders available to me. Kind of depends on the time of year. But, South Florida usually has something that uses aerial seed dispersal in seed. We have several types of thistle and it seems they seed year round as I have always been able to find some fluffy seed head. Willow also puts out a fluffy seed head. Any seed head I have found has made excellent tinder. Palm fibers from various palms such as the cabbage palm and saw palmetto make excellent tinder and is over abundant. Dried grass is also found year round. Just rake your fingers through the dried grass and take only what comes out with out needing to pull. This leaves you with only the driest grass.
South Florida has very high humidity and almost daily thunder storms. But, it is also pretty hot. Take advantage of that heat and collect and protect your tinder and kindling after the sum has burned off the morning dew. But, before any thunderstorms. since you have no man made way of protecting this material. Lay some cabbage palm fronds in a protected spot under a good tree and place more pond fronds over top off them. Dead palm fronds burn very hot and will definitely help get things going.
All south Florida woods is loaded with vines. Some are stronger than others and some of the 5 species of briars, several species of grapes, balsam apple, virginia creeper, passion flower vines, morning glory, rosary pea and hairy cow pea and other peas and vines. One that is very strong and doesn't have thorns or much in the way of foliage is the lovevine. That would be my choice for my first attempt. I have made cordage from palm dander and vines. But, I have never used it on a bow drill. So, I don't know how love vine will be as far as abrasion resistant. It is small and very strong vine though and a braided or even twisted cord should be good.
I have also seen videos where someone is using palm frond fibers peeled from the green outer layer of a frond. You could also find a long thin young frond and probably twist that into a manageable strong cord. Braided green palm fiber would definitely work. But, you have to process and braid the fiber. So, I would try some of the vines first. To say that they are abundant in my woods is a great understatement!
If you google palm bow drill, you will see some videos that show people using only cabbage palm for everything.
It is going to be some work getting the kit with out a knife or saw. I would think you could break a useable heart from a willow as they always have dead parts. Getting the notch right may be difficult. I have never tried tying two sticks together to make a groove for your dust pile. But, I will now that I read it above. Otherwise, I would try to scratch a notch with a piece of limestone that is everywhere. Your drill should be relatively easy in comparison to the notch.
