    If you're just buying to make sleeves this is probably your best option.

    I make mine from 1.1 oz. silnylon. I know some people prefer noseeum for weight, and so the tarp can dry during transport, but for me it's more important to keep the water away from the rest of my gear.

    Wonder if you're interested in Cuben? I would really like to find four people (total of five including myself) to go in together on four yards of .51 cuben. One person cut it up into 12' x 10.8" pieces and mails it to the other four. Would be like $25 a piece. Not sure where I could even post something like this...WTB?

    Saw a guy use a shower scrubbee. Cut the string that held it balled up and it unravels to a long tube of nylon net. Wifey was throwing one away so, i ran it thru the washer to get rid of any excess soap and cooties. And by dang, if he wasnt right. Maybe couple bucks at wallyworld? Just a thought.

    Lots of threads on the dollar store/wallyworld snake skins... apparently some of them have weak material and fall apart rather quickly.
