This video made me think of this community. Fixing a camping chair and stool with Tyvek is pretty inventive, as well as sewing a tent with the material!
Regardless of where I’ve gone wrong, you’re right about Tyvek. Would be cool to have some cheap & easy to fabricate shaped tarps.
Its not that cheap since you have to buy it by the roll. But for strength and ease, its an excellent prototyping material.
Researching more this morning.
It can be sewn, glued, and taped; comes in varying weights; is a bit heavy but is also very cheap. I really want it to be more than “an excellent prototyping material”.
But, now I know what that fucking sound is in designated backcountry camping areas. My fellow hikers are using it as ground sheet.
Thanks for kicking me to educate myself.
