"The PIG" Elite USA-Made Training Sandbag (Coming Soon)



Forged by a Combat Marine Corps Grunt, 82nd Airborne Paratrooper, and 20th Special Forces Group Veteran, GRUNTBAG is the Gold Star Standard—a father’s mission to honor the legacy of CPL Christopher Mason (KIA 2006). I engineered an elite, hardware-free, 100% USA-made training sandbag for those who live the grind.

In 84 my office was a Fast Attack Vehicle (FAV). It was a stripped-down cage of iron and adrenaline.
🇺🇸 THE MISSION: NO ZIPPERS. NO FAIL. NO EXCUSES.
A Message from The Founder SSG Garland Mason (Retired)
They say "buy once, cry once." In the jungles of Vietnam, we didn't have room for combat gear that quit halfway through a mission. Why should your training gear be any different?
As a Combat Marine Corps Grunt in Vietnam (4th CAG, 2nd CAG, 2nd BN 7th Marines, 3rd BN 5th Marines) and a U.S. Army Paratrooper (4-325 ABCT, SETAF, 82nd Airborne, and 20th Special Forces Group), I am a Service-Disabled Veteran who has witnessed combat gear fail when it mattered most.
I’ve also seen what true sacrifice looks like.
The Engineering of "The PIG"
I design one thing: a hardware-free physical training sandbag. It is engineered for those who refuse to train with compromise. When you train with the PIG, you are training to a higher standard.
The Mindset: Own the Grind
This sandbag isn't for everyone. It’s for the "Grinders"—those who know that progress is earned, not given. When you look down at the PIG, remember one thing: "IT AIN'T GONNA PICK ITSELF UP!"
The "Zero Slack" Manifesto: HONOR THE FALLEN"
I didn't design and build this sandbag to start a business. I built it military-tough to honor my son, along with all our Fallen. I honor them by doing what they can no longer do. At 75 years old, I still bust my ass. I cut myself zero slack. I hit the dirt or the pavement every chance I get—and I do it for them.
Every pushup is a salute; every drop of sweat is a debt paid. I built 'The PIG' to be as stubborn as the fight and as hard as the men and women we lost. No zippers to jam, no fluff to fail, and zero excuses.
Own the grind. Carry the weight they no longer can."
