Just found these at CT. I actually saw them in the flyer and figured the price was for one 2'x2' tile, so I was just going to grab two to fill in the gaps since I have a bigger tent now, but as it turns out, the $6.97 is for a pack of 4 interlocking squares :cool: They're 1/4" foam, nothing fancy but should help with traction and keeping the feet a little warmer out there :)

I wonder how well these would last on a garage floor in a hang out area?

I might have to go pick up a bunch of them for the man cave area I intend on building in my garage over the summer.

I use those, got an 8 pack from Costco, they work great on the ice and weigh nothing to carry around too.

I've used these for my 2 man tent for the last 2 seasons. I cut a hole in them for an auger template on the ice. Works great for cutting the light and keeping the chill off my feet.

Nice, I like the idea of putting a hole in a couple of them to go over my holes in the ice to keep a little extra light out. And you're right Wayne, these mats are way lighter than the rubber mat I currently use.

Thats a good idea and a deal at canadian tire.
I have been using sleep mats from princess.
I also use waxed card board boxes. Grocery stores throw these away every day. They are good to walk on and can be used as fire starter

Well, I tried mine out yesterday and I like them. Between these and the rubber mat I already had I can pretty much cover my entire floor. Since these are solid they also make for a nice dry area to put your stuff down on instead of it sitting on the snow/ice. :)
