make ice hash for less than $5

Has anyone tried bags like these to make ice hash?

Just curious as I really think the $150 and in some case > $200/$300 for filter bags seems really stupid.

if you look, you can find them even cheaper.

craigslist~! it will probably come with afree reach around lol . but seriously some great deals on there.

+rep for looking out.

Dry ice hash is sooo much simpler. Unless your arms give out easily.
Whichever bubble bag you prefer, add 1 oz dry trimmings, small chunks of dry ice (50c worth).
Shake the hell out of it, over a 2' square of panda paper.
Use clean spatula to scoop into container. Cover loosly and allow to dry. Takes 5 minutes. No mess.
This can be processed further, sprinkled on a bowl, or smoked pure.
With the cost of the bag it's more than $5. but still...
PS Use dry ice right away. It doesn't store.

Ok, Just did it and can't believe I haven't seen the panning for gold analogy mentioned. I grew a too big Thai so I've got a bunch to play with. Here's what I did:
1) Started with 2, 8 cup frozen Ball jars
2) Stuck 3 cups ice, 3 cups Thai calyx buds, rest with almost frozen water in the two jars and talked my wife into helping me shake the heck out of them for 20 minutes.
3) Put the two jars in the freezer for 30 minutes.
4) Grabbed one of my wives clear rectangular pyrex baking pans, placed a framed silk screen I got from Michales Craft store over it.
5) Poured the contents of the two jars over the screen. I then grabbed the "bud cud" (I gotta copy write that) and squeezed it to get as much liquid flowing through the silk screen. It's real obvious.
6) I laid the Pyrex baking pan over a gel cold pack, the kind for a bad shoulder.
7) her's where I developed my skills in turkey baster use.
It becomes obvious what to do. Sucked away the water.
9) What's left is a nice tan slurry.
10) I'll stick the pan in the sun tomorrow but as of now, I'm pretty stoked and will do this again for sure!

I agree. I use a large metal baby formula tin, fill with trimmings and dry ice, put the lid on and shake like crazy, remove the lid and attach mesh, and then I shake it over my glass coffee table.

Scrape it up with a razor blade.
