TYVEK
Tyvek is made by DuPont and is somtimes called 'home wrap'. It's used in home construction and is highly sought after by long distance hikers because it's lightweight, waterproof and versatile. I scored a big piece before I started this hike and got my sister Carol to sew it into a big pocket. I sometimes slide my sleeping pad and bag inside and use it to cowboy camp. I also use it to line my tent and keep me and my stuff dry. Sadly, my Tyvek is wearing out. Does anyone out there have access to a 12' by 10' piece of Tyvek or a similar product? Know anyone in construction or someone that works at Home Depot? I sure could use a new piece but it seems hard to come by. Any help is much appreciated.
Daryl and Nate work at home depot, silly! I've been reading your blog & your hike sounds amazing! But we miss you and can't wait til you get home! :)
