[pct-l] Donde esta la tyveka?

[Hollywood]

Tyvek DrainWrap is the best.  It's *slightly* heavier but wayyyy more
durable.  I did 2,000 miles with regular tyvek and the last 650 with
drainwrap.  I wish I'd known of it when I started hiking.

Is there a service that ships replacement tyvek?  I was thinking about just
buying a big roll, figuring out the cost/foot and sending it out to hikers
at cost.  Anyone interested?  Tyvek is hard to come by, especially for
replacements on trail.    I wore out 3 pieces (I used it during all stops,
I don't like sitting in the dirt) and wished there was a way to get it
easily.  Small towns never have it, even Tahoe.  I've checked.
