Spidennis,
You didn't use any other kind of underinsulation with it? Just the wool blanket? Very cool.
Tom,
A tarp? That's one I had never thought of.

oh no, i had a pad and sb in there with me, but I was much too warm! I wanted to try shedding stuff to see what I can get away with, but wouldn't you know it, the weather got better, dang it! this is a tool in my bag of tricks that I'll be willing to use though when the time comes around again.
From the Dupont webpage on Tyvek
DuPont™ Tyvek® brand protective covers are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in a proprietary manufacturing process that creates a unique balance of properties that are ideal for a protective cover.
Protective covers manufactured with 100% DuPont™ Tyvek® provide superior protection from harmful environmental conditions, are lightweight and exceptionally breathable, and strong, durable and long lasting.
Hey Hawk-eye,
thanks for the post, sure clears up the breathable or not breathable thingee...doesn't it. :rolleyes:
PS--My house just got wrapped with it (TYVEK) this past summer before they put the new siding on.
well if dupont says so then let no one stand in the way of that
Like i said wrap your self in tyvek building wrap not the clothing version and see how much you sweat
even in the clothing stuff we use it at work for confined space entry its hot and sweaty very quickly
thats my point you once you start sweating in them or on them you will be wet the liquid that gathers on the surface will form a vapor barrier
regardless in this application it would not work cause the fibers on a woolen blanket and very tough and would migrate thru tyvek anyway thats why most old wool comforters have cheese cloth inside it help contain it
