Fwd: [pct-l] Tyvek is expensive

[pfreiman at popmail.ucsd.edu (Paul Freiman/Vicki Cavataio)]

Dan , I don't understand if the space blanket shredding was 
intentional or not.  I've had the same space blanket ground cloth for 
over 20 years.  Yes, tyvek is lighter, but it can only serve as a 
groundcloth while the space blanket is much more functional.
HOWEVER, check out http://www.gossamergear.com/ .  I think you will 
be happy with what they have.
