Water weights

I noticed this morning that my water bottle - the one I use when I'm hiking - makes a great small weight. Then I remembered that we used milk jugs in a class I took in college (with water in them).

I've also heard people suggest filling plastic bottles with sand or gravel to make adjustable weights (if you want more weight than the water provides).
