Croquet everywhere forever!
If you find yourself in the woods, with a couple of croquet balls in your backpack, but neither mallet nor wicket, don't despair. Don't despair at all.
I found this inspirational photo on this site describing how campers can improvise equipment - which proves that you never can tell where your junkliness will come into play, as it were. Note the twig-wicket and flashlight-stake. I really like the whole idea of playing croquet in the woods - so many interesting tree- and rock-like obstacles to play around.
On the other hand, should you find yourself not in forest, and yet not on a sufficiently croquet-worthy lawn, there's Toequet which, apparently, is croquet played with soccer balls. Again, evidence of some significantly junkyard-inspired thinking on someone's part.
Yes, yes, you say, this is all well and good, but what if you already have a croquet set and a croquet-worthy lawn but just don't have the time anymore to spend your days playing? Well, thanks to the Wonder Wicket, you now have something to do with your nights.
