Default frontier gander and his beans

Hey FG on your bag of beans do you leave them in the original package or put them in something else? If you do what do you put them in?

I just keep them in theoriginal bag. Although if you wanted to, you could sew up a camo bag to keep them in so everything blends into your surroundings. mines starting to rip from falling over a few times so it would be a good idea to put them into another bag of some sort. Keep them in the original package so it stays in a nice tightly packed seal. Im going to get a couple more bags to have as spares.

thats right, After you're done using them, just throw them in the pot and have at it lol. They work pretty good, i want to build a shooting table and get enough bags where i can set my entire rifle ontop of them. I'm going to do more shooting tomorrow and see how they work with my inline. Had to resight the darn thing again today because i did some stock work a week or 2 ago.

FG,
So is that a 5, 10, 25 or 50 pound bag of beans? What kind of bag are they in?

Some stores around here have beans in bags that are made of a very fiberous white cloth that is plastic coated and very tough, you might look for something like that to help in the strength dept. The larger, 50 pound, bags are often burlap and can rip a bit when over stressed. If all else fails you can always cook em up and eat them.

Got some old ratty blue jeans or work/camo pants? Cut pants legs into lengths just right to hold the bean bag with a bit extra to fold over at each end, thenstitch it up (or maybe borrow the hands of someone with a sewing machine to do that part).

Don't want to spill the beans... , beads, etc

Innovation, that is practical. That is why I like this forum.
