    Tyvek

    find a construction site, they will have scraps that size

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There's someone on WB selling 5' wide pieces, any length you want, for $1/foot.

    I was gonna try that this weekend. My only concern with that is that if it's already in the dumpster it's probably torn up or got a bunch of holes from other stuff thrown in the dumpster.

    Also, if anyone has tried that, are they really that willing to give it to you? I just figure they have more to do than babysit me while I go get my tyvek scrap. I know most of them don't like random people walking around the construction site unsupervised.

    most of the time you will find it laying around on the ground, plus if you go when no one is there they won't know

    That's kind of what I was thinking. I know of a road nearby where about 10 new houses are being built. I might drive by tomorrow to scout them out. They are all in the tyvek/siding stage now so that will probably have some still laying out.

    You can make a few hammock related accessories from Tyvek. Check out the Definitive Tyvek write ups in the Articles section.
