Shower floor in the field?

[Jerry Ward]

I use natural materials from wherever I may be at the time; conifer boughs, broad deciduous leaves, flat slabs of stone, row of sticks/logs, cattails/river cane, willow branches, etc. Lots of options in nearly every environment!

That is a ridiculous amount of money.

So are Land Cruisers, Ural's and Porsche. We all have our vices and when I can support a forum member and at the same time purchase something that will literally last a lifetime, the price is fair

"last a lifetime"? really?
Actually a $5 rubber door mat will last longer than that.
supporting the expo community is great...we are all for it.
but the businesses need to know where there is a market and where there is not a market, and operate accordingly.

He is not having a problem selling them rather keeping then in stock... I'd say he has the market sorted

Look, I'm not trying to convince anyone that they are the end all solution, options are king. Personally I'm always willing to spend more to buy a hand-built product that supports the community. The "lifetime"comment was in regards to the link 1911 posted, the second review claimed they are fragile and if it's the same as those sold at Target and others, I'd agree.

I use this roll up wood mat. Effective at keeping me off the dirt, easy to wash off and it rolls up small for transport.

I bought it on Amazon for about $30.
Premium Teak String Tile Quick Click in 16" X 24"

I am sure you could make one yourself for less if you wanted to.

I made my own a few years ago out of a leftover redwood fence post, nylon rope and small pieces of plastic electrical conduit. Didn't cost me anything but time.

Looks great! What did you seal it with?

used to pack along one of those 5gal solar shower bags on field exercises in the Marines. Used an old school rubber shower mat, the kind with suction cups on the bottom. nice and thick. When stored I'd roll the shower bag up then wrap the mat around it, made a nice protective case for the shower bag. It was very flexible and the whole bundle rolled up very tight.

It was in there somewhere -

Just some waterproofing that comes in an aerosol spray can from the sporting goods store.
