Let's Buy Some Tyvek!

“Still not the 9' width tho, which is what I want.”

“Let's do it!!!”

“Since this thread kinda died, guess the deal is done. If anyone else needs some, I just bought a roll. Got 'bout 50-60 xtra ft. Was 9X150ft, and wound up costing $1.10 per foot, tax incl. If'n ya want some, let me know. I'm in TX . an it costed about $10.00 to send 50ft to So.Cal, via UPS ground-inna box, an 'bout $4.00 to send Sgt. Rock a 4X9 piece inna priority mail envelope, so I guess yer shipping would be summers 'tween them figgers.”

“Right on Smoker.

I never heard if someone else got any.

I take a six foot piece. I'll send you a email for details.”

“Can you accept PayPal?”

“Smoker, if you're close to TxWoodswoman, you could send some with her in a few weeks. She's coming to CA for the TT Sierra trip.

Looks like Phil, Rosey and I were the ones interested, and we'll all be there (I think). Didjfan, you could join us on this trip (if you're not already going) and get some too! Hmmm . . . I'm not sure who's going on this trip anymore.”

“Smoker - I got your email and replied. Looking for about 5x9 piece mailed to California. I would like to get mine before the Sierra trip so I can cut it to fit my Inyo 2 footprint.”

“UI was interested to but it never got on the ball!!

I needed a 12ft piece!

email me!”

“Smoker! Cool! I just sent you an e-mail!”

“Rosey just contacted me for some Tyvek. Reviewing the above thread, it seems that there has been a breakdown somewhere!”

“What did you expect from someone who calls themself rosey monster?”

“That stuff is great. I've been using it for several years. Never had any problems with it.”

“Rosey was going to buy the tyvek, had several of us waiting, but never "got around" to doing it.”

“Yes. I flaked and now there is someone more industrious than I who has pulled it together.

[hangs head in shame]”

“Bad roseymonster, bad.
No hard feelings, I'll blame it on your youth. :)
I had to flake out on the Sipsey and Old Farts AT trips, but at least I have a medical excuse.”

“Smoker the check will be to you soon. Thanks again for the effort.

SnowNymph, I won't be joining the tribe this time in our beautiful backyard. Year end work stuff.”

“We'll miss you! I had a great time talking to you on the last trip. Next year, maybe....”

“Who is interested is Tyvek? The stuff makes great ground cloths and tent footprints. HPM made a nice tarp from some.
I'm thinking of buying an 9 foot (I think the real size is 8 foot 9 inch) wide roll house wrap grade and selling the excess here on TT at cost plus shipping. I wouldn't want to fool with a lenght any longer than I can get into a U. S. Priority Mail shipping box. I THINK that's about 12-14 feet.
The cost would be $1 to $2 a running foot plus $4 to $5 shipping.

Any interest?”

“Outside chance. I'll let you know.”

“We got all kind of responses to this thread the first time, but a certain person did not follow thru and actually buy a roll. ;-)

I will if I think I can sell off 60-70 feet.”

“If you don't get any takers let me know cause I think I know someone with some extra tyvek.

No, it's not me.”

“Creek Dancer bought a big roll of it and has been giving it out to friends It's pretty good stuff, ... nearly indestructable too.”

“Just out of curiosity, whats a roll go for?”

“About $150 for 100 feet.”

“With so little interest, I'm abandoning this offer.”

“I got a 3 foot X 100 roll at Home Depot for $39”

“I need some tyvek.”

“I was looking at 9 foot wide rolls.”

“Is 3 feet wide enough for most applications, or do you stitch it together somehow?”

“I got some the other day, this guy will cut out whatever square footage you need in whatever dimension you need from a 10 foot wide roll of the stuff.

Heck, I don't have the website handy, but I think it's posted on the "tarp" thread.

Goodling Outdoors or something like that.

He charges 30 cents per sq ft.”

“I think Trooper has a roll of tyvek.

I don't know but she might part with some of it.”

“I would take 20 ft.”

“"how could it be lighter than tyvek? air isn't as light as tyvek..."

If this is the case I want a whole role so I can make me a backpack, tent, sleeping pad etc. out of this stuff. Talk about ultra light backpacking.”

“ This is the guy that'll cut tyvek off a 10 foot roll for ya. 30 cents per foot.

If you order from him, use this code "PHARMI 34950" after several people use my code, I get a discount. When you order, you get a code too.”

“I do have a roll from Lowes that I bought a couple of months ago. I would be willing to part with some of it.”

“trooper, how wide is the roll you bought and how much do you want per linear foot?”

“To avoid having to read 89 posts, what do you guys do with the tyvek just curious ....thanks”

“Where the puck were you guys two days ago?”

“trying to sift through the bull#&%!$ threads stove stomper”

“I'll have to check & see how wide the roll is.......I think that it is 9ft wide.
I'll let you guys know....”

“I could always use some extra tyvek. I'll be glad to take a bunch off your hands if you want to get rid of some.”

“Tyvek makes a really good ground cloth, it's puncture resistent and super light weight. Also makes a good "floor" for a tarp tent.

Also almost water proof, actually it is, but that kinda wears according to some folks, but it takes a lot of use and abuse, so I hear/believe.”

“Take it from "Tyvek Tanya" it's good stuff. But you have to wash it a couple of times to quiet it down. Now if they only made it in camo, it is real hard to stealth camp with a big white sail.”

“whoo hoo part-A!!!”

“and if the sum of part a and part b are greater than your allowance from the bottom of section two on page 4 then please see the acompanying table on page 15 to calculate you deduction allowance that shall be placed in the third box of column d in part c. Then you may procede to part d.”

“See, thats why I pay an accountant $50 to do my taxes.”
