    Tyvek

    I have a 10x10 sheet of Tyvek that I used for my tarp on 2 recent trips. It works, but its noisy, and bulky, and ....

    Is anyone on this forum still using Tyvek, and if so, for what? I hate to toss it, but after I make my 1.1 oz sil tarp, it will be just taking up space in my garage.

    Under articles, there is a lot of good info that HeadChange wrote on Tyvek, including a technique on how to make it less noisy. BD
