    What could I make with this? Any ideas?

    I happen to be the lucky winner of the free hammock give away from Infinity Outfitters which was very cool! I just received it in the mail and noticed a little lagniappe (something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure) courtesy of Infinity Outfitters and the United States Postal Service. I know there are some great ideas out there how I could "recycle" this.
    This DIY thing has got a grip on me!! Appreciate any ideas.

    It's a ruler. You can use it to make other stuff.

    I still carry a FedEx tyvek large envelope which made my sit cloth. In the hammock, my trail runners rest on it.

    There is a thread somewhere about sewing one of these up to make a suspension holder for stakes, straps and what not.

    I've used them for a sit "pad" as well. Makes a wet log a nice place to rest during a hike. I've also cut a few to unfold them and then tape them together for a welcome mat under the hammock.

    Tyvek bags make a good food bag. It's a bit small for a sit pad. I use a 4'x4' piece of Tyvek for my porch/mini ground cloth. That way I can sit entirely on it cross legged and not be sitting in the dirt.

    I made a wallet with some last week, after the novelty of having a diy wallet in my pocket wears off, I'll go back to my leather one... but it only weighs 5 grams and will be great for taking into the woods there are TONS of youtube vids for diy projects with tyvek.

    You can get a few more and make a kick-*** suit like Michael Stipe wore on SNL years back.

    I use one for my folding grill and the bottom few inches of another for my stakes.
