Who needs Tyvek Homewrap?

“I'm flying up to the Hoosier Hiking trip the 15th.

Anyone want Tyvek? I can bring a few pieces with me.

It's 9 feet wide by whatever lenght you might want. I'll have to ask for $1.50 a running foot (what it cost me). No shipping if I give it to you at the trailhead.

Example: Most two person tents are around five feet wide, so you would need five times $1.50 = $7.50 for a 5 X 9 foot piece. Trim off any excess for a custom tent footprint.

“Hey stovie....you want me to send your cookies now or put them in the freezer and bring them to you on the trip?”

“I'm happy and greedy today, LOL.
Please send cookies NOW. ;-)

I'm send y'all an email tonight.”

“OK :)”

“Just saw this thread. I need, I need. If interested, shoot me an email roseymonstah at yahoo dot com and let me know the best way to get you the dosh and what you need for shipping.

I'd probably take 9 feet...

Thanks!”

“I'm send an email tonight with my address for payment to all that need it shipped.”

“Count me in. I guess I'll take 10 feet. That should handle my (your old) tent; right? I can't remember the dimensions. I'll pay you at the trailhead.”

“Ruby, you only need about five feet if all you need is it to go under the tent body.
That's 5 x 9 feet.

Now if you want it to cover under the fly area, 9 x 9 sounds about right. You will have to trim the corners off or fold under.”

“What's the shipping cost? I need to make a new tarp.”

“I think, under nine or ten feet will fit into a Priority Mail box for whatever that standard charge is now. $7, $8????

Any more than about that will knock it up from the 1 # charge to the 2# charge.

Kinda sucks that the shipping costs so much.

I can't get into eBay right now at work, but I know there is a guy that sells it there and you could see what length footage cutoff will ship in a 1# box.

“I will have a look at ebay and get back to you on that.”

“Hey!!
I would like to buy 18 feet if possible??
I will be at Camp Peeper Friday night, if you can't bring that much then I'll take the standard nine.
See ya later.
Randall”

“I'm starting to wonder if I can fit the whole roll in my luggage. ;-)”

“they'll never let you on the plane with that...you could fold it up into a sharp point and stab someone with it

are you really flying in to hike in Indiana??!!...wow, you must really have it bad for Crash LOL ;)”

“LMAO! true!”

“if you are flying in from out of state, bring beer. Indiana beer sucks.”

“Chili, shipping will be $8.”

“SS, you have mail :)”

“No.
You have mail, Spirit Coyote. ;-)”

“NO YOU DO! >:(

“No!

You do.”

“NUHU! YOU do :)”

“I need some Tyvek to!”

“sorry stomper, he's out!”

“My husband builds houses. You think he'd have some Tyvek laying around but no, he's out and not starting a new house anytime soon. So, I'm out of luck. :(”

“well, maybe if you send SS some cookies...”

“Indiana beer sucks.”
Spirit Coyote

you're going to the wrong places”

“SC, I'll tell you where the best place to buy beer is in Porter County. It's a little place called Pat's Liquors on Rt. 20. Lots of specialty and microbrews. And if they don't have what you're looking for, they will order it. Also, they are real close to the dunes. =D”

“Hey ruby I'm thinking some night on a full moon to do a dunehike, you in???”

“Rap this while lounging around the house:

1)Yo zozzle what th' heck
I got some Ty Vek
It be neely ten feets
I gots th' hole sheets

I cuts it like you wants
I cuts you like I wants
It be th' good wrap
Or I bust you wid a cap!

Chorus:
Yo yo yo yozzle
You like my pro posal?
Yo yo yo yozzle
You be at my dis posal!

2)Come down to Mississippi
But don't be no hippie
Come way on down Souf
I bust you in th' mouf

I had a concert at the 'rena
But we had the K-trina
So now I jest a'nutha rapper
With lyrics fit-not for yon crapper

(Repeat chorus)

lol!”

“stovey, do you still have some tyvek? i need enough for 2 2 man tents and for a 1 man tent. i'll send ya an email.”

“Last Call on Tyvek on the HoosierDaddy MidwestFest.

So far Ruby wants 10 x 9.

Is Randall still coming??? I ain't bringing ten for him if not.

“Not going to name any names but I'm not going to hold that 10 X 9 piece for a certain TTer forever. ;-)
Still waiting on that check.”

“Tyvek is pretty cool stuff, we have the envelopes at Office Depot. So I'm guessing lightweight. Do you use it as a footprint or a tarp or something else? How much are you selling it for?”

“Anyone got any they want to sell ASAP? I am looking for a 9'X6' piece.

Lemme know ASAP so we can work it out!”

“Yah. Found those guys. trying to see how quickly they can get it to me...”

“I noticed the website says that Tyvek is better as a ground cloth, because a water proof ground cloth traps rain water between the tent and ground cloth.

I guess it could if you don't know what you are doing. It has never happened to me.”

“You must not ever go in the rain, it happens.”

“I have been in a lot of rain that became floods. Never happened. I understand a little about hydrology...rain flow downhill. I also know that you can't put your ground cloth outside the footprint of your tent.

Location, location, location is the key to staying dry.”

“Yeppy stay inside stay dry.”

“confucious say rain run down hill, shㅗt run uphill”

“#&%!$ ROLLS downhill!”

“If you go on ebay and look for the seller campcovers he sells tyvek by the piece or by the foot and gives away free anchoring hardware, so your tyvek does'nt blow around
check this guy out”
