I was unable to find any silnylon in the masses of rolls and bolts of material at the big fabric warehouse near my home. I found some ripstop fabric (I assume it's not treated since it wasn't marked as such...?) but I also found some gortex and I got to wondering if that would be suitable for my first try at making my own hammock. Thoughts, suggestions, cautionary tales, and tips are all welcome. I'm still think, think, thinking about design...what to copy, what to tweak, what to invent. I thought I'd keep thinking and run it by you experienced hangers and hammock creators before purchasing the fabric. Thanks much!

Ps. If the gortex is a bad idea, can I use the untreated ripstop? Or, should I just shop somewhere else and get the silnylon ripstop that I've been reading about?
