What exactly are you supposed to fill the bag with? Thanks.

You fill the bag with shredded fabric... anything without buttons, buckles or zippers will work, I tried to stick to cotton, as it compresses well. I was able to reuse the stuffing from an old bag for about half of my filling, so that's an option as well. Many times if you look, old punching bags can be had for just a few bucks, if you don't want to go to the trouble of scavenging rags. Here's a decent video from YouTube on how to fill the bag - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLGddvvvAIk. The nice thing about filling your own is that you can make it as hard or soft as you want. Many people also get a remnant of some decent foam carpet pad and curl it into a tube that they slip inside the whole length of the bag. Then the rest of the padding goes inside the foam tube insert. The foam roll makes for a nice, smooth striking surface so you don't get hard spots. If you want to add a bit more weight, freezer baggies filled with play sand and then completely duct-taped can be dumped down the center of the bag, you likely won't need many, a bag this size gets heavy in a hurry as you pack the stuffing down. This is a good sturdy bag - waaaaay better than my old Everlast that cost a bit more. It's a bit of work to stuff it, but way worth it if you use a bag often. Hope that helps.

i filled mine with wool. but sintepon is an option too. or with cloth. but you have to compress it otherwise it will be too soft.

I put a dead Everlast bag and a dead Century bag (shredded cotton cloth) in ours. Sand is a great core material, but use small batches and make sure it stays put. Loose sand has ruined more bags than anything else I've seen.

Take a plastic tube half the width of the bag from a hardware store with end caps. Fill it with sand and cap it off. Put some old rags or shirts in, set the tube in and keep filling with rags. Beat it down to compress it and finish filling.

I used old blankets. Rags work...something cloth like. Also I put gallon sized freezer bags with sand to help weigh it down (Duct taped the outside and also drop those in the middle or wrap them in blankets). Took about a month to get it packed solid since when you beat on it everything compacts down.

This is my second time filling a Outslayer heavy bag. For the first one I used shredded cloth. I packed about 6 inches at the bottom and then placed a poster tube filled with sand in the middle. I then pressed the fabrics around the tube. Very good bag. The second one is a 6' muay thai bag. I compressed clothes with 2 sand bags at the bottom and then filled the rest of the bag with a mix of clothes and cellulose insulation (9$ for 25 lb at Home depot). Took me just oven an hour. Its a bit messy but the feel is awesome. I find it to be better then just compressed shredes clothes.

You can use a coupler and use any tips with them. You cut the tip off the bag to suit your needs. They're very easy to work with.

I have never used any kind of bags. When it is full, I simply up-end it inside a plastic kitchen garbage bag.

I don't have a bag handy, I pour it into a Tupperware when I receive it. As soon as I get a new bag I'll check the ingredients for you.

You twist off the top and fill it up from there. I generally fill it up every time I use it.

I WILL SEAL THE ANSWER BEFORE ME ONLY THING I DO DIFFERENT IS USE MY VACUUM SEALER AND IN MOST CASES I ALSO ADD SEVERAL 3 INCH SILICA JELL,PACKS.Depends on what type of food, how full you fill the bag as well as bag size and oxygen pack size. We found in these bags if we stored say rice and filled the bag near full, one was enough. Otherwise two is called for, in fact I ordered additional larger packs for when we estimated a need. Tip, try to force all the air out before you heat seal, my wife is particularly good at this. In many cases thats all it takes to make sure one is enough.

Just add boiling water to the bag. I like to fold over the top and seal with an inexpensive wooden or plastic clothes pin. Hope this helps.

It depends how large your sachets are and how full you want them to be. I filled up 6 or 7 small sachets and the bag is still full. It's a LOT of lavender. You could easily fill 100, unless maybe you want them completely stuffed, but I think that's unnecessary.

You need to fill it. I used rice, but you can use sand, beans, rocks, steel shot or whatever you wish

Cut the size bag you want, then seal one side. This will give you three sealed sides. Load your bag and seal as you would an ordinary bag.

In fact I would recommend you do the glass container because once you get to the bottom of the bag it gets messy to scoop out of the bag. I used my old BCAA container and that works just fine.

I flew with them filled and everything worked out just fine. Be sure to follow the fill instructions and don't overfill. I also put them inside gallon ziploc bags in the event they leaked. The added precaution proved unnecessary though. Enjoy!

Agree with other comment (except its QTY 6 to a bag). When your done using it just leave the tip on, it seals itself & when your ready to use it again, just throw THAT tip away & put on another.

If you're using a tea bag, just put the other stuff in the sweet leaf. The water needs to flow through the leaf, so don't pack it full.

As far as I can tell you need bag. But this thing works fantastic. I would buy another in a heart beat!!

It's filled. I believe they used to sell it in filled and that's why you're seeing those reviews. Get the bag, it's good quality. I love mine!

A resealable bag... I ended up dumping it in like a candy dish with a lid for easy everyday use.
