    Good places to get silnylon for diy tarp?

    Anyone know of some good sites to get silnylon from for doing a diy tarp? I've seen a couple of sites that have pretty good prices but very limited colors. Would love to find some camo. Also the less weight the better.

    I just got mine from Quest Outfitters. I'm pretty sure they had camo in 2nds so it's about $5.20 a yard by 65" wide. Good quality and fast shipping.

    My fabric hunts follow this path:
    1. Www.DIYGearSupply.com
    2. Www.OWFINC.com
    3. Www.QuestOutfitters.com

    There are many other places but these 3 have a combination of good selection, prices and service. Since they cater to DIY backpackers, they know what we are looking for and show the pertinent specs - no mystery fabrics.
