    Any waterproof rubber mat/flooring would work. Thicker = warmer if planning to stay overnight. Consider using two sheets so they can roll up and be put in a lawnchair style bag for easy transport. No need to cut holes in the floor itself, just leave space in the corners. One sheet would also work if you had an extra tent bag. Find it better than having to stack & carry a dozen or so blocks.

    Absolute game changer for spending the weekend on the ice. I'll bring a matt for in front of my cot and will spend a lot of the weekend in my sock feet.
    Thats brilliant! I know what I can do with my ripped ones now.

    How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?

    I made it easier. I had a special tent in which I put the stove and laid a special cover. I bought an oxford 300 PU 2000 fabric with isolon insulation, and tried to cover the top with a thermal insulating layer. But it should be 1 cm and I had to lay three layers. The last was waterproofing with holes. But the previous two without holes, under the stove. But there was a system for fixing the waterproofing bottom. I liked that.

    I am very impressed using 3x3 foot rubber utility mats.
    Use as flooring in the ice popup tent, moose camp tent and use in the garage the rest of the year.
    Holes allow water, mud, snow to drain away. Decent thickness to protect from standing direct on snow or ground.
    Can put to year round use by placing in garage or outside entrances. Also keep two in truck bed as an extra liner and keeps items from sliding while driving.
    A bit pricy at about $30 each on sale at Rona. For me was worth it to buy 5 due to year round use.
