I saw this very neat camping shower mat several weeks ago: http://www.expeditionops.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=170. It was listed for $119, and the price made me start thinking...
I had a few left over decking balusters http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...0053&langId=-1&keyword=baluster&storeId=10051 or "spindles" as some people call them, so I decided to make and "expedition" mat myself. I spent about $12 on a quart of spar polyurethane and gave the pieces several coats. I used a 5/16" bit to make two holes in every piece in order to connect everything together with some rather narrow bungee tie downs I had laying around http://www.amazon.com/Keeper-Corporation-Bungee-Cords-Count/dp/B00004Y62H. I have at best $25 invested in it. Of course it's not teak, but it should last just as long, and the extra $100 saved will buy us several gallons of fuel for our rigs.
I'll post pictures shortly, so tell me what you think.
