I have three of these:

I'm sure there is a practical use for them, but I cannot think of any right now. It seems like a waste to me to toss them though. Can you think of any practical uses for them aside from building a ghillie suit?

ETA: the ghillie suit thing was a joke

is that burlap or woven plastic? I haven't seen any burlap bags in several years but lots of woven plastic with seed and feed...

a lot of guys use the woven plastic and cut slots in it and put whatever their preferred fish chume is in it and drop it in the water..
not exactly sure how legal that is but some do it

I've used them as fish bags when I don't bring a cooler on the boat (short 1/2 day trips). Keeps fish moist and cool and they don't slide around on the deck.

Gardening, keeps weeds from coming up. Or shooting bags if smaller.

I know a guy with very large feet that could darn some very large socks...

Maybe?


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

A ghillie suit? Maybe if you’re a sniper assaulting an Asian market but I know what you mean about not throwing them out, I tend to find usefulness in useless crap too. 😂

Put onions, garlic, bulbs and the like in them and hang in a dry place where they won't freeze for storage.

I was going to suggest this. Or cleaned walnuts in the shell if you’re into cracking them.

I chop up wood for cooking in my brazier and use them tow sacks to tote the wood in. They are great for toting stuff in!

Split them, then sake them on hill sides to hold grass seed in place. They rot and can be cut over.
