I tried cat litter made of wood and found that to be a rubbish material to fill my bags so went with the Poly Bead option - perfect :)

Unexpanded polystyrene beads. Look like granulated sugar.

Poly beads in a squeeze bag as it keeps it light enough to go in my pocket or carry bag. For a rear bag heavy sand, I use Chromite however by definition it is rather heavy so it has been left at home for the last few years.

Keeps it safe, wouldn't want it to get damaged :D

Funny what we do over the years and what we end up
keeping and using. We would need a 4x4 to carry everything
we need, but it is surprising how we manage with what we
actually take with us on the day.

I ought to start a thread about what we carry in our gun bag :)

I remember ordering in 25kg of Chromite and thinking what crikey it weighs a lot when I took it off the back of the couriers van. Apart from filling a couple of rear bags and a few BR99 sausage bags it is still here on a shelf so if anyone is ever passing and needs a bag filling feel free to call in and help yourself!

A carry in your bag has been done before however disciplines and thoughts change and it is always worth a look again

Someone was using a full tight bag of cat litter the other day, never even thought of that.
