Danish Sandbag, Surplus

An olive drab sandbag without sand. Fill and fulfill your destiny. Turn your home into a fortress or make a cute machine gun nest for your kids. Don’t fortify anything with moldy potato sacks or something equally fragile unless you want to turn your crib into an opulent kitty toilet. Get this kinda stuff stuff that can take the weight. You can also shove other stuff besides sand into these.

Materials

These sandbags are made of green 100% coarsely woven polypropylene. They look and feel a bit like Ikea bags or regular tarps. They will last a long time unless you shoot them full of holes.

Use

Buy a bunch of these and build yourself a post-apocalyptic bunker. Or use them at the shooting range. You can of course put other things besides sand in these, e.g. firewood, Christmas presents, or very dirty laundry.

There are two strings on both sides of the mouth of the bag. For the love of everything that’s holy, don’t try to pull them to close the bag. The only thing that will accomplish is a nervous breakdown. Yank one cord completely out and use it to tie the bag shut when it is full enough. The other one you can leave as a spare one. The strings are quite shitty in quality anyway. You are much better off using something better.

Size info

Measurements when empty and flat c. 75 x 40 cm (29.5" x 15.8"). The sizes can vary a bit from bag to bag. The proportions of course change depending on how much sand you shove in these.
