So the "baby" version will cut through a nylon tent floor?

I print out my maps on tyvek at office works and they pull double duty.

You can do that?! At any Officeworks? Do they call it tyvek or something else?
The hard part will be to print it to scale for consistent compass work.

True. Hijacking the thread a bit here, but I'm wondering what map files you're printing from taipan821, and how you get the scale right?
Thanks

just back from a few days use of the window insulation I listed. I cut it down a tad more so no rain (woke up in a wee pool outside, flamin' hell) would go on to it then under the tent (about 5 cms all round -now fits easily in the smallest zip-lock weighs about 55 grams) Wasn't for water-proofness remember, just boosting the blocking of sticks etc. Dried very easily and the dirt/mud/sand just fell off. I thought I would have to hose it, it was so filthy-nope. Do a Taylor Swift- Shake it out, put it in the wind and sun and bingo, bango, bongo all clean! Happy as Larry.
