$136 for a 14"x72" red synthetic leather 100 lb. Thai bag from Title, brand-new, shipped.

That's, uh, a really good price. I'd prefer a heavier one (130), but to get something nice, like the KO Fightgear 130, would be somewhere around $250, or the Title Platinum would be over $300.

For anyone who hasn't had an encounter with a common sand bag (*cough* Everlast *cough*), the sweet spot in the middle is fine on a brand-new, never touched bag, below that is rock hard.

Guess I'll be blowing the budget.

I need to check on protecting this stuff, since it'll be in a shed that is subject to temperature variation of -20 F to over 100 F, relative humidity from 0% to 100%, and might (hopefully not) be encountered by insects or worse.

Worse being small critters. But hopefully not them, and not bugs either - I intend to seal the building up as tightly as possible. Expansion foam in all the cracks, weather stripping around all the openings, and check out how the eaves are done.

The prices on individual rubber-coated 2.5 and 5 plates are insane. Like $2.20 a pound. They should be about $1 a pound.

Film is awesome!

Film is terrible.

Want to see the shot you just took? Guess what - not happening within the next hour. At minimum.

Think the shot was great? Guess what - you won't know otherwise until too late.

Think the shot was terrible? Go ahead, take another - you only have about 24 though before reloading.

Want to edit your picture afterwards? Haha, have fun.

How many rolls of film do you have? Twenty? Thirty? Well, that's an expensive amount of film, and worse, very expensive to get it all developed. But even in the immediate event, you are still carrying those thirty rolls, and that gives you all of 750 shots or so. You know how many a 16/32GB Class 6/10 SDHC can hold? I forget, but even for RAW, it's a lot. And you can carry thirty SDHC cards in your hip pocket, unlikely thirty rolls of film, which would need half a backpack by themselves. And sure, the SDHC costs a lot to buy it... but then you can use it. For a million shots.

Film is obsolete, archaic, outdated, antique, outmoded, and obnoxious.

P.S. Oh hell yes I am proud of that last sentence. :awe:

Gel glove wraps look like a good idea. Less time and effort and trouble to put on than full wraps, the concern is how well do they work in concert with full gloves, do they fit in the full gloves (or fit at all), and how well do they stand up to frequent washing.
