Not sure this is the right thread, but what do you guys find is the best thing to fill bean bags with? ( for Wildlife Photography)

Cheers

I tend to use a mixture of bird seed and peanuts. If I then need to attract some wildlife with a bit of feed I just open up the bean bag and remove a small quantity !

Mines full of rice, it's cheap but heavy. It's not a very big bag and weighs 2Kg so usually stays at home. Also it can go bad if it gets wet, so I will try something else next time.

My beanbag is filled with the polystyrene balls that it was filled with. It makes it nice and light to carry around.

Same here, but it doesn't half weigh a bit! Mine is an "A" frame type and I didn't realise just how much it would take to fill it. 2 bags of peanuts and 2 bags of sunflower hearts...basically 4kg of seed!

I need to remember to cycle it to keep the food fresh, have had it in there for a few months now, it is waterproof so should be okay for the life of the peanuts.
