    I'm guessing a Bulgarian Bag or something vaguely 'Strongman' related?

    Anyway, you'll get fine sand in any builder's supply or the like, but this stuff is nice and clean and conveniently packaged and pretty cheap:

    Is that brown rice in those bags? Sugar? Crack Rocks?

    Rice is way lighter than sand measuring by volume. So your bag full of sand will be a lot heavier than it will be full of rice. Maybe a factor to consider.

    This is very true. Drifter has a sandbag packed full of metal.

    I think he calls it a kettlebell.
