Koba will be sandbagging long after he's home. Like a less sad and vagrant, more interior-designy Rambo.

Are sandbags the next big thing in architecture mayhaps, conflictNo?!


When you live with high explosives and shrapnel as an almost daily occurance you embrace sandbags like a lover.

We sandbagged our tent with a double wall about 7 feet high. Added a wall in front of our bunker so ricochets couldn't get in. And then another in front of that. We even built a sandbag wall around our smoking porch out in front of the tent so we could have a cigarette in peace (and then I tiled the porch with a bunch of tiles I scavenged from the old Iraqi air defense installation buildings). We got so good at them we sandbagged the mechanics offices in return for use of their welding and cutting torches.

I've learned there isn't anything you can't build without sandbags, empty water bottles, and 550 cord.

Pro Tip! Don't use the synthetic "flood" sandbags. They will disintigrate after a month or two in the sun. Good old sackcloth sandbags are the best.
