Then an easy pressing and you have yourself some grade A fine hashish! Once done you'll easily see why it advertises for $20/gram and more...and it's not all that time consuming. It takes about 3 hours (and that's with not working at it...stoners work when not necessary? hardly!) to process a pound of waste into an oz of fine hash, not counting the drying time. I bought the 5 gal, 7 bag system but the 5 bag is enough. Even the 3 bag system would do but there is one important bag (I feel anyway) missing from the 3 bag set.

I agree, even though I don't sell - I'm getting a 5-bag set this weekend on a run to Vancouver. I've tried most every home hashmaking technique, and nothing compares to the hash my friend gets from the bags - So much cleaner, tastier.
ISO works ok but the longer soaks tend to leave a nasty taste to the hash, and make it dark. Same with everclear.
BHO is good, but hard to find clean butane around here, and you can't do a bunch at one time - meaning lots of butane at 3-5$ a can. Plus oil can be tough to work with and tends to be messy.
Ice-o-later hash is much cleaner, but finding proper screening material can be a pain, then sizing it and making suyre its fairly durable for when you (accidentally, of course) bang the mixer against it.
Hand Rubbed - ok I haven't tried this method

All the problems seem to be taken care of with the bubble bags, putting everything in a convenient package/system. Maybe a little expensive for some folk, I could see that, but if you can afford them and really enjoy your hashish, its a no-brainer
