yeah man, i do that alot, when were in an awkward smoking locale and cant really just chill and sit and load bowls in a wind free enviroment. we just grind up like a gram maybe a bit more REALLY finely( parmesan trees, i need to start using that!) and then put it in pinch by pinch packing after each time. Normally my bowl fits a .4 or a .5 thats about the consistency of barley, but this way i can get a biig nug in it, and the bowl will last a good half hour in a circle of four people. its also crazy to watch,especially when your pipe is recently cleaned cause it gets sooo resined up after just one bowl!
