Rifle (Muzzleloader) Packaging Experiment
TheIdahoanShow
This video documents my testing of a packaging design for shipping muzzleloaders. The packaging consisted of one layer of bubble wrap wrapped around the rifle, which I then sealed inside a very long poly bag. I placed it in a cardboard box padded with shopping bags that I had partially filled with sawdust to act as a bio-friendly (and very inexpensive) shock absorbent.
Idaho was one of the last continental US states to be settled and, more so than some parts of the US, the culture of Idaho still retains a frontier spirit of self-reliance. As host of TheIdahoanShow on YouTube, I endeavor to produce videos capturing this enduring pioneer spirit, at least as it is practiced by this Idahoan. Of course, shooting and associated ancillary activities are an important part of Idahoan culture, and so many of my videos pertain in some way to the making or testing of firearms and/or ammunition. Here on the Reloaders’ Network, I have endeavored to consolidate this portion of my work as a reference for the reloading community.
