    COLORADO folks!

    Hey,

    Anyone know of a walmart that has a fabric section? I'm in the Denver area, and I've spent weeks going to different walmarts looking for a fabric section.

    I'm looking to make a 1.1 ripstop tarp (make into sil) at a good price, plus my sewing isn't superb. I need to get away from my tyvek tarp setup (34oz for a 10x10!!). If I get sil, it'll be around 15 oz, that's a weight savings of 19oz (~1.2 lb)!! I'm still going to make a 10x10 or so, so I can go to ground when above treeline, and have space for other folks.

    Anyone have any 411 on the fabric monopoly here in Colorado, I could use some help. lol

    Hi neighbor, welcome to the forum.
    I have not found any good camping materials in the WM in the Littleton area. Hancocks sometimes has ripstop and maybe syl in one color or 2nds.
    I prefer buying from folks that have done the research and offer a nice selection of colors weights and materials. Checkout these to for a start.
