Might be heavy?

I ordered the creedmoor with the cork fill. Waiting game now as it’s made on order.

Would this be suitable to fill a bum bag?

The "Ultra absorbent" part of that description could be problematic. As it absorbs moisture, the bag would get heavier and the corn will eventually rot. I have not found that with cork or wheat hulls.

I'd suggest that cereals/grains are not a good idea for something that will or might get wet.
They will absorb moisture from the ground itself. Something inert should be used, I would think.

Walnut shell blasting media if you want heavier than cork.

In order to conform to shape and give support, it needs to be able to move easily, yet be somewhat stable.
The ground cork does seem like a good idea.

Hey Rodney, thanks for the info; that's good news! Ordered mine on April 17th in US Marines camo.
But of a stupid question, but do you remove the cork chips from the plastic bag they come in?
