As I was thinking a little bit ago I may know of a source or extremely cheap/free nylon. The only problem with the nylon is it has been used for other purposes in the past but, how do you say, it doesn't cut the mustard anymore for what it's original intention was. I'm not sure how good any of it might be it would depend on what it failed the test for, pull strength or porousity.
The one thing I can think may pose a problem is it has been stitched. I keep trying to remember how they cut the fabric, length-wise or width-wise, to know if I would be getting full 5 foot wide pieces that are shorter than a full hammock/tarp, etc or if both directions would be shorter.
How much does stitching together two pieces of nylon reduce its overall strength?
I know the material would work great for a tarp and should work great for a pack as well. I really question if you could use it for a hammock or not. I could end up getting it in almost any color. Granted it would still be finding someone with it laying around who is looking to get rid of it.
