I have done 60/40 with wax sand and peat moss and also 60/40 with wax sand and buckwheat hulls. I prefer the mix with the buckwheat hulls. Both methods make your wax sand go further and also lighten the load.

Has anyone tried waxed sand mixed with unwaxed buckwheat hulls?

I don’t think people wax the buckwheat hulls.
I use waxed sand. It takes less wax than dirt and beds rock solid. It’s too heavy to carry though. I trap off an atv so no biggie to carry a five gallon bucket. You can get a lot of sets out of a 5 gallon bucket. If I had to carry it, I’d use dirt instead. My conditions are tough so I have never tried mixing hulls in the sand but I have heard of it. Never heard of peat moss being mixed. Interesting thread.

Trapperjdb, does it bed as good as just waxed sand?

A 5 gallon bucket of waxed sand weighs around 75 lbs. It's awful heavy, but I use a side by side so weight isn't an issue. When making sets, I scoop out of 5 gallon bucket into a quart sized bucket. Waxed sand makes bedding a trap a piece of cake, rock solid. It works so good, I have no reason to try anything else. Yep, work smarter not harder. I work out of 5 gallon buckets in pickup box, but scoop it out in quart containers that fit my pack. When loading the pickup it is half buckets at a time poured in to refill.
