- Bludgeon the wax into smaller workable pieces.
- This proved to be incredibly difficult with a knife and saw.
- My next plan is to beat upon it with a hatchet or hammer.
- On edit: I made these later using a screw driver and hammer to quickly and easily break up the wax.

- Fill the egg carton/cupcake liners with cedar bedding
- Optionally also layer in bits of dryer lint (it’s an easy burn to get these going).>
- Melt the wax in the pan
- Be aware, the longer you leave the melted wax in the pan/on the stove, the hotter it gets – it sort of boiled when I poured it in the next step
- Get it melted and then work it right away
- Pour some wax over the cedar bedding
- You basically need just enough to hold the firestarter together
- You’re not making a candle- don’t get nutty with the amount of wax you use (like I did!)
- After cooling, cut into pieces
- Put it outside/in the fridge to cool
- I used my grill and just set it inside until it cooled down overnight
- A bread knife worked great for cutting, the wife wasn’t pleased about the residue left on it

If you've been RVing for more than five minutes, you've heard the word "rally." Maybe you've scrolled past one on Facebook, or seen a campground packed with matching rigs and wondered what was going on. But if you've never been to one — or never thought you belonged at one — this one is for you. We sat down with Don Florczyk, the force behind The Flock RV Rally Company , for our Community Spotlight series on Learn to RV The Podcast. We're not going to spoil it here — you need to go listen, because this conversation goes places we did not expect. What we can do is give you the lay of the land: what rally culture is really about, whether you need to own a specific brand to show up, and where The Flock is headed in 2026 and 2027. Grab your camp chair. Let's talk about it.
