I can't speak for weekendbender, but I prefer jugs to big bottoms.

Not a fan of plastic jugs (ir)regardless of size.

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.

And he has nothing against jugs, as long as they are not plastic....

Although, as i get older it seems more difficult to find good jugs that are not plastic....Wonder why????

It's just like ironbender said, they sag down toward the bottom.

Honestly, who does?

Some think it does have something to do with making the world go round.

I need to read more battue posts on Fridays....actually every day....

I sure hope they're better than his Saturday through Thursday posts.....

^^^ 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!

$6 in bricks, and $40 in duct tape!

The old guys have always been jealous of us who are younger....

Haha, younger than what?

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.

Gotcha.

Damn electrons…..
