I have seen several DIY bivy designs made out of Tyvek house wrap. I have not gone and bought any house wrap just yet, but they are intriguing. as a lightweight tarp, Tyvek seems to me to be a better choice than a typical space blanket, if nothing else because you can make it big enough to be more useful.
