CamperMom member Registered: 01/04/02 Posts: 1228 Loc: Eastern MA, USA	Both posters have good ideas and this can quickly get into HYOH. A possible in-between answer is Tyvek, especially if one can obtain some free. (Which I haven't.) If it is free, when Tyvek gets worn, toss it with little regret. It weighs slightly more than silnylon and is not totally water-proof, but it is highly water-resistant and fairly durable. CM
