The SLOSH PIPE as been out more and more with our guys. And since some of you are looking to make your own, here is Nate explaining how to do it right.

DIY Gear: Nate's Video Series

Nate S has jumped into the Trinity Training Group with both feet. He's going to be posting some videos about making Do-It-Yourself gear. Nate is quite the frugal handyman. Another example of how innovation and dirty hands can produce some great results! and for way less money than buying the same.

Be on the lookout for more of his videos (check out the labels at the bottom of this post too). For now if you need a head-start, check out his YouTube channel.

EQUIPMENT: Rubber tire sandbags

Above is a very recent photo taken of some new sandbags (SBs). One is a 60# and one is a 40#. The 53# KB is shown for scale. These SBs are made out of sand and truck tire tubes. They seem to be very durable. The 40# has a nylon strap running through the section of tube to create handles. Surprisingly, these SBs are extremely ergonomic....well, as ergonomic as a 60# bag of sand on your shoulders can be. The curvature of the SB creates a yoke-type fit on the traps and neck. These are absolutely ideal for running or trekking under load during workouts.

These are Nate's. He says he's got more tire tubing for those of us who want to make some at home.
