Default Show me your living room crawling setups

I have a very small living room and no basement so while it's raining here Ive been "crawling" over some fire wood stacked on my hearth (kind of fun actually). But I'd like to make something a little more challenging to crawl or climb indoors. Needs to be light and small so I can put it out of the way when I'm not playing with the MRC.

What do you guys do for your living room setups? Pics if you got um.

I have a sofa (6 cushions, 2 pillows), a love seat (4 cushions, 2 pillows), and 2 chairs ( 4 cushions), plus several blankets and a few misc pillows. All this leads to endless opportunities. Use what you have and be creative. Sorry no pics, the wife is barely tolerant of me and the boy playing in the living room.

Do a search for "couch crawling" and see what pops up.

I use 6 pillows, sofa and a throw. I occionally go to the chair, ottoman, and end table trail for a little tougher challenge.

Mental note don't run crawler in sand and not clean the tires/wheels really well before a little living room exploration!! This seems to really anger wives go figure ???

"couch crawling", of course! I was searching for "indoor ramp" and "indoor course".

I think I'm going to try and make a series of hinged boards, three in a row with adjustable legs. Glue down small rocks and branches for an uneven surface. I could adjust the height and angle of the boards for more or less difficulty. An MRC climbing wall sort of.
