Looking for Backpack Material

Dec 27, 2009 12:17

I need to get my hands on several meters of backpack material. Lincraft and Spotlight dont stock it.

Does anybody have any ideas where I can get it?

*scratches head*

maybe a cheap tent? - cut up and doubled maybe...

what do you need it for??

How much are you willing to spend?

Does it have to be 100% waterproof?

:) I would really rather not waste a perfectly good (crap) tent for what I want to do... :) its a secret at the moment

I'm not even sure I *want* to know how you knew about that place..

I didn't. I knew to search for ripstop nylon and cordura. This mob was recc'd on a .au DIY camping site.

I got some a while back from one of the remnants places. In order to get it in small quantities you have to look long and hard for it.

could always ask mattt's bags in gertrude street if they would sell you some, they make bags from it.

Hmm... The place Rachael mentioned only sells it in bolts of 30 meters... do you need any as well?

Ask them! The reviewer said they sold cut lengths and were happy to send samples.

What on earth are you doing with it though?
