Here's a link to another possible source:

This is a soft tyvek, not the stiff crinkly kind. Not sure if its waterproof but I'm sure the guy that runs the site (Steve Ferrel) can tell ya.

I bought my last tyvek off a guy on e-bay. It had no printing so maybe it was the "kite" variety. I think it was on the order of $1.50/foot. Based on the price for a full roll that's pretty reasonable. The shipping was cheap since it's so light. If you can't find a big scrap locally then maybe go that route.

Good luck

What are you guys using Tyvek for?

I'm using it for mocking up gear designs before plunking down cash for good stuff. =D

Seriously though, I have nearly a full roll. I need about 20 ft or so but the rest you can have free!

What about using it for a tarp? Would it work?
