So it's pretty much what's in the title. Really wide ripstop nylon. 1.9 oz. I offered $3.25/yd, and they accepted it.
I'm gonna make myself a monster 6' x 12' hammock.
Here's the link (http://stores.ebay.com/Fabricsupplier/_i.html?_nkw=ripstop&LH_SellerWithStore=1&LH_TitleDesc=1&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_sasi=1).
Enjoy!

Acer,
Looks like Shipping is $7 for the first yard, and $1 per yard after that... Not bad, but not a screaming deal... Though my next hammock, this would be nice: I wouldn't be adding some width to attach the bugnet!
Hmmmm... a double-layer Double Hammock?
PF,
Are you Acer's evil twin? What did I miss?

Yeah, it's not the cheapest fabric out there, but it's 6' wide!! :D I have yet to make a bugnet'ed hammock, so I can't say how that would go. I'm getting a binch of other fabric from them too, so the shipping isn't as bad.
WV, Yeah, I earned the nickname of Pucker Factor this past weekend at the Linville Gorge Hang. I imagine that will be in Part 3 of Hawk-eye's Trip Report, but let's just say I won't be sending some pictures back home to my mother. ;)
