When you get the bottom weights squared away,,,do you have any preferences for jugs???? I can't speak for weekendbender, but I prefer jugs to big bottoms.

My OP was more about how to add/subtract weight in smaller than 50# increments, and be able to position it to not be concentrated. Not so much about how to have weight, e.g. water, sand, feed, concrete blocks, etc.
Perhaps I didn’t make that clear.

It was pretty clear that you don't want a big heavy bottom.

^^^ solid. Been rucking in various capacities for years and GoRuck might be spendy but has high quality ruck related items. I started with 5 duct-taped bricks and moved to a ruck plate. So nice to have the weight cinched close to the spine. The website shared above has lots of info. Get some!

Perhaps I didn’t make that clear.
I guess I wasn't clear either. I break up feed bags. My base one is usually about 60 pounds or so. I have access to feed to do this. Then I break up 50 pound bags into smaller weights. 10. 15. 20. 30. They are bulky enough I don't get that feeling of having diving belt weights all at the bottom. I move various weight bags in and out as needed. And a look at a feed store can answer a lot of questions. 50 pounds of milo is smaller than 50 pounds of cotton seed or horse and mule etc... I'll leave you alone now I suppose. But I've tried quite a few ways and so far feed bags is where I'm at.
