I've read recently in a few places about people using Tyvek for their tent footprint.
My neighbor just re-sided his house and he had some house wrap left over and he offered some to me so I thankfully accepted.
But I realized that it's not true Tyvek, it's this other stuff and I'm a little skeptical that it would hold up. The construction reminds me a little of your every day poly tarp...it's a weave of strands. And probably a little heavier than Tyvek but I don't have a piece of that to compare.
Have any of you used this type of house wrap in the pics for a footprint?

You can see a few strands pulling out already. I can't imagine it would hold up very well for a footprint. My neighbor was so happy to give it to me but now I don't think I want it. Don't want to be an ingrate.
