Be sure to cut off the squashed end first

In case anyone else misunderstood my description, you don't thread things
all the way *through* the conduit, just into it far enough so that when
the conduit is pulled on through the wall, it pulls the wire or whatever
along with it. That said, I suppose it would be possible to pound plain
conduit through and then thread your whatever directly through. It would
just be more difficult to pound without the flattened, pointy end,
especially in the rice straw bales that I'm using here. Wheat bales would
probably work fine.

For running conduit, cable or similar materials through bale walls:
take a
two-and-a-half foot piece of conduit and smash one end flat. Clip off
or
grind the corners of the flattened end so it is somewhat pointed, and
pound
it through the bale wall. Now anything can be inserted into the
hollow
conduit. Have your helper on the other side of the wall pull the
conduit
through, and the wire, cable or whatever comes through with it.
