Is there a source for Tyvek in smaller quantities, other than buying a huge roll from Home Depot??

Thanks for the suggestion:

Here is a site where you can order a 9 foot wide section by the foot: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TYVEK-by-the-foot-GROUND-SHEET-CAMPING-TARP-9ft-wide-/320936533973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab94edfd5

I've ordered a number of items from Lawson in the past and he is reliable.

I ordered a pretty good quantity from into the wind kite shop. Want to use for groundcloths and to make my own bivy. I saw a DIY bivy on youtube.

Check with local builders to see where they're working on a building project in the wrap stages. If they don't mind, and most won't, you can watch the dumpsters for end pieces and chunks cut out from windows and doorways. They might even have a shortroll that they will sell you at a decent price.
