    Scored

    I just scored

    21 Yards of Grey Sil Nylon (One 10 Yard and one 11 Yard)
    15 Yards of Black 1.1 Ripstop
    10 1/2 Yards of Black 1.9 Ripstop
    15 Yards of Blue 1.1 Ripstop

    All From the Dollar Rack at Wal-Mart. I would have never noticed it had I not walked in that department to buy a Needle... I feel like a kid in a candy store.

    It's DIY Time! What to make what to make....

    I need some 850-900FP Down... Hrmm

    Who is the go to guy for that? I know you can buy it on Thru-Hiker for sure.

    Nice score! Double check the silnylon though, there has been some question on whether it really is sil or not in the past.\

    As for down, Wilderness Logics had 850FP for $6.50 per oz.

    Nice score! For down, check www.wildernesslogics.com or www.thru-hiker.com

    I just received some down from Wilderness Logics and some M50 from Thru-Hiker for an UQ that I'm making. Both are great sources for materials
