Remote camping without a table means things like shaving, food preparation, and cooking mostly happened on the rear door&#8217;s folding shelf. It&#8217;s worked fine, but some improvements were needed. The problem was our loose rule that most things need to have more than one use. I had thought about bolting a simple plywood sheets to the side of the rover prior to leaving, but couldn&#8217;t justify the single use as a table. So, we found the waffle traction boards. Good for bridging a ditch, recovery from being stuck in sand or mud, as well as a table for cooking, shaving and drying clothes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
