Best stretch film according to redditors

The Toyota Hilux has a payload of 1390 kg which is 3064 pounds. That means it is going to take 123 bags at 25 pounds each. The sugar will cost $13.98 per bag. We also have to get 2 rolls of industrial plastic wrap to wrap it in which will cost $18.76 each and packing tape to hold it together which will cost $26 for 12 rolls.
____

123 13.98 = $1719.54

18.76 2 = $37.52

26 * 1 = $26
____
1719.53 + 37.52 + 26 = $1783.05

My best investment by far

It's like the commercial saran wraps used to wrap boxes on pallets together. One of those will last you a decade even after daily use. $17 from Amazon for ten-twenty years worth of saran wrap.

There's also stretch wrap, the stuff they use to wrap around pallets. It's pretty close to cling film/cellophane but a little thicker, stronger and wider. And you can get it in a bunch of different colours.

Extra tip: Get stretch film tape to wrap your pieces together. Makes them so much easier to move.

Pallet wrap works well. For those unfamiliar, it is similar to industrial/restaurant/shipping clingfilm. Head to your local storage unit, U-Haul, moving company or hardware store. You are looking for a big cardboard tube with plastic wrap on it.

/u/muhammad-ayeah .. like /u/floozbag54 said... I get meals from Plated.com [let me know if you want a free week of meals] and the boxes they come in are great for shipping beers. My process:

• Electrical/hockey/silicone tape the caps [optional]
  
• Wrap bottles/cans with two sheets of bubble wrap, an extra sheet around the neck/cap for anything bigger than a bomber usually
  
• Shrink wrap to secure the bubble wrap, makes the wrap easier to reuse vs. tape
  
• Ziploc individual bottles/cans or put all of them in a garbage bag if it's easier.
  
• Place inside above mentioned padded shipper
  
• For anything that'll take more than a few days shipping I do the box-in-a-box method and chuck the above in a slightly larger box with additional packing material. [optional]
  
• Check extended forecasts and temperature trends along the route and ship early enough in the week so the box will arrive before Saturday and doesn't sit over the weekend.
  
  
  Now... none of this guarantees a safe transit. Between low temps and rough handling breaks/leaks are inevitable so your best bet to prevent your box from getting pulled before it reaches your recipient is to use ziplocs or garbage bags to contain any breaks/leaks. Avoid shipping altogether when overnight lows are in the single digits or low teens, especially if you're shipping cross-country -- that's just asking for trouble.

6666 square feet of shrink wrap. I don't even put it on my board games, I just like to tease them by unshrinking it from itself.

>rediculous

Clearly the courses don't work ;)

> had an typical class where she wanted to use online homework. We needed to buy the book and the online code hidden in the cover. When I looked it up the book with code was 200 fucking dollars

One thing that you should absolutely not do is buy some shrink wrap online and a heat gun. You would absolutely not want to buy the book, open the book, write down the code, and then re-shrink wrap the book and take it back to the book store after making it appear like it had never be opened.

That'd be a totally unethical way to save hundreds upon hundreds of dollars every semester for less than $50 initial investment. That is something I would never suggest anyone do.

This shit is the bomb, it compresses the tree for you as you wrap it.

It is also super useful for all sorts of shit that needs held together around the house.

As long as you don't need to navigate any steps, get a dolly. If you need to move it to another location, put cardboard over all the edges and wrap it in stretch wrap. Then move it with a hand truck that has a large base. You can do this alone, but is much easyer with another person.

I like to use stretch film for this kind of thing. It's not totally leak proof, but the lid definitely stays in place. If I want to upgrade the leakproofing a bit, I use a combo of cling wrap, then lid, then stretch film.

edit: oops. I meant Press n' Seal instead of cling wrap, but close enough.

Make a box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT6004Euwf4&t=298s

Tape it up and then (since you aren't likely to have gummed tape dispenser like in this vid) wrap up with a couple layers of https://www.amazon.com/Tromax-Stretch-Plastic-extended-dispense/dp/B017J9ROHG/ (stretch film) so even if you do a less-than-perfect box, it won't bust open. And now its weatherresistant

Go to a body shop and ask for a piece of "crash wrap".

Try parafilm it clings without using adhesives so you dont have to worry about any paint being pulled off. You just stretch it out on place it on, then trim off the excess.

You could try pieces of scrap cardboard in between the weight plates. I'd probably get that plastic wrap and make sure my bench and rack were protected. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Gadget-Industrial-Strength-Supplies/dp/B01MXF3K9S/ref=sr_1_2?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1520966625&sr=8-2&keywords=moving+plastic+wrap&dpID=419i-1pDdmL&preST=_SX342_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

funny.. maybe something like this?: https://www.amazon.com/Stretch-Wrap-Industrial-Strength-Pack/dp/B06Y1HSFVH?th=1

I wonder if it would stay with the dog moving around...

What I had more in mind is a fabric like the outside of a carhart work jacket, something really durable and water resistant that comes in sheet form...like a bed sheet.

Gonna look more into your Idea though- if it stays- than that's a great idea! I just don't wanna have to replace it daily.

1. First you wrap each other up in industrial saran wrap.
   
   
2. Then you unrwap each others' genitals.
   
   
3. Then you fuck.
   
   Is that really that hard? (I hope so.)

I don't know how in love you are with the idea of rope, but I found a new restraint material that has changed my life. Should be really good to deal with bruising easy AND hella easy for a new rigger, try this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXF3K9S, it's packing wrap/film.

Pros:
-VERY easy to use
-Can be incredibly restrictive
-Very easy to get
-Anyone seeing it wouldn't think anything of it
-Can get shipped right to your door
-It does NOT require any anchor point
-Can give your sub a lot more of a "snuggled" feel because it's spreading the restraint over larger areas than the narrow rope.

Cons:
-It is consumable (I guess you could probably reuse it, but definitely something that's easier to not reuse)
-It's not rope, so if really want to be doing rope, it's not that.

Clear plastic drawers!

A couple of these in your tent/shade area will change your life on the playa.

Use a shrink-wrap roll to keep the drawers closed in transit (also clutch for bundling gear for packing!)

And this.

You can add weight to your 24kg bell for TGU. I use stretch wrap to attach 5 pound weight plates to the bottom of my kettlebell. The film itself can hold plenty (you use many layers), but more than 5 pounds seems to shift the balance too much. It takes about fifteen minutes to do all the wrapping, not something you want to do for every workout.

Another option is to hold two kettlebells in one hand. I have a 5 pound kettlebells similar to this (mouse over all the photos, one is a five pounder) Notice that the proportions are similar to a real kettlebell- the handle is rather thin, you can stack it on top of a full size kettlebell and get your hands around both.

Either of those, plus double 16kg swings, could be a great bridge to 32kg.

a good wrapping in something like this can mitigate damages when this happens.

not much else you can do about strap breaking, other than transport in an enclosed van.

tl;dr: don't move:

-Ikea anything

-mattress sets (unless replacement costs over $2k)

-Furniture that is old and should be replaced soon anyway

-Stuff you haven't used in over "n" time


IMO, it's nice to have nice new stuff when you make a large move..I opted to take what fit in my car for two of my moves and buy all new. Those moves were the least stressful.

I've wanted something to help me make these decisions as well. Every time I've tried this analysis myself, I end up being too subjective and keeping things that don't make sense when I get to my destination.

What I've learned is to get rid of Ikea furniture and either re-buy it new at my destination or upgrade to real stuff.

Mattresses and box springs are another item I think I could have bought new at my destination easily...but they aren't the easiest thing to get rid of before you leave. They are fairly hard to pack in a way that won't get them dirty too. You have to either buy some sheeting plastic and wrap it up, or buy a zippered bag. Get an air mattress for when you first arrive at your destination and order a new mattress set online right away and it should be there within a week.

I've always has a lot of electronics in bins that I've just accumulated over the years. I recently went through and consolidated 17 bins into 3. Recycling/tossing stuff I didn't need or had no value. If I had done that before my last move, it would have saved me a lot of space...but it's time consuming.

Definitely buy cheap moving blankets from harbor frieght or some place like that. Also buy a few of these:

I've moved across the country 4 times in the last 7 years. I rented the 16' moving van/truck from Penske for $700-$900, $700-$1200 in fuel (8 mpg), and $400-$800 in hotels and food. Penske will drop prices if you call, and give AAA and online discounts....just to give another option to those shipping container companies.

You have to be comfortable driving a fully loaded truck and understand how to balance the load properly.

When I made those moves, the journey out was with whatever fit in my car, with the intent of buying stuff when I arrived. The first time, I spent ~$7000 on furnishing a 1 bed apartment. Then I moved back to home and took all of that with me in the moving truck. When I moved again, I left all of that (long story, didn't sell the stuff) and again moved with what fit in my car. I furnished a new 1 bed apartment for about $5000. Then I moved again with a truck and took all of that stuff, picked up all of the other stuff from the previous move to where I'm at now. By the time I picked up that first set of furnishings, the value was low...but the replacement cost was high...so I took it with me.

Maybe use some packing stretch wrap around the cardboard and styrofoam?

EDIT: Should be able to find it at any hardware or office supply store.

Has any one used moving shrink wrap like this?

I know someone that uses this http://www.amazon.com/Duck-Stretch-Inches-Single-970700/dp/B000NHTUCE and while it is wasteful as you dispose of it, it works and is easy up and easy down. I personally have one of those $100 green greenhouses and it is a POS, but functions.

What is the diff between that and syrine wrap?

stretch wrap and shrink wrap is essential the same thing.

This stuff works well enough
