Got an old pair of socks in the drawer? (Long stretchy tube socks work best.)
And a couple of plastic grocery bags?
Put some clean sand in two bags.
Tie the bag ends and cut off the tails. (The bags in this picture are tied off a little too tight. It's best to leave a little room for the sand to shift around.)
Then stuff them into the socks and tie them off. You can cut the tails off if you want. But I leave them on so I can tie the two tails together and throw the bags over my shoulder to transport them.
It works really well for a down & dirty sand bag rest.

Things I've Learned: (1) It's not possible to please everyone, but quite easy to piss everyone off. (2) If you love animals as I do, then you're not a vegetarian. (3) There's no need to act stupid, even if you're very good at it. (4) If you eat right and exercise, don't smoke or drink, you're going to die anyway.

If you want it lighter you can use rice, corn, or even Styrofoam "peanuts". But I like the weight and stability of sand.

The bags in this picture are, rice bags from the restaurant I cook at. Also some made from an old pair of jeans closed off with cable ties.
both are filling with oats.

I just hoped he washed them first! What a genius. Always thinking. And that is a good idea Semi. But I think it will take a while for my sand bags, made from shot bags, wear out.

I'm not as good as I'm gonna get - but I'm better than I used to be. "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
When I made my pair of bags, I used rice. It really works well.
