    Microgrid ripstop @ Walmart

    Hey all, just wanted to give heads up regarding some fabric I picked up at Walmart recently. It has a really small micro-grid ripstop on it, and the color is dark gray/black, with a shiny side. It's polyester, and I weighed a 36x36 square at around 1.4 oz. It's hammock-worthy, and allowed me to drop a fair amount of weight from my previous hammock body.

    Breathes fine, but I assume there is a DWR on it.

    Great find.

    Finding ripstop at Wallyworld is a hit or miss. Have not seen any at my local Wallyworld in over a year.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Could you post a pic of what you found so I can check my local WM. Also, what width is it?
