Do we have enough interest in ripstop?

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Do we have enough interest in ripstop?

Hi there, I am looking into buying material for my diy projects. Though, I can buy in bulk and save a lot. But I would still have a lot of spare material, I am talking about 100s of yards. Do we have enough interest in Australia in buy ripstop materials for your projects? I know it depends on price, weight and colour. I am planning on buying coyote in both 70D(denier) ripstop and 30D rs. I am then looking into getting 40D Acu camo ripstop. If there is enough interest in material, I will buy in bulk, get it shipped here and sell it on here for a very reasonable price. Let me know what you guys think. Spread this with any other dryers in the camping/hammock community. Thanks guys.

I'd only be interested if you'd be willing to look at lighter weights, like 35gsm or thereabouts. if you could get downproof and with DWR finish then I'd also have a look.

You can buy 70D at spotlight - generally choice of ripstop/not ripstop.
