Re: Tyvek ground cloth

A lot of fabric stores sell Tyvek by the yard

Also can get it here $7.000 for 3x10 feet  and, if I recall, shipping was
reasonable

I prefer the cloth-like Tyvek (1443R) rather than the smooth-finish Tyvek
used to wrap buildings. It's also worth washing once so it doesn't make
noise as you lie on it.

Can also look for DemoBags in your local hardware store. If they are sold
by the each, you can take one and cut it along the side seams into a
rectangular piece big enough for a single-person bivy or shelter. My
hardware store sold them for like $2 each
