new one to add to you folks list. Nandina Domestica works well with a harder hearthboard. I used a yellow poplar hearth. this was the first time I tried nandina and it worked right off with the bow drill. It's a familiar plant with often very straight stalk sections, perfect for spindles.
cattail fluff and dry grass is my favorite flame starter.

this actually started an ember a few seconds faster than the yucca/willow combo.
