[Elecraft] Packing Peanuts

[Don Wilhelm]

I do re-use those packing peanuts because if I do not they will pile up 
from the packages I receive.  I believe Elecraft does the same thing.
Yes, those white ones will almost jump out of the package and stick to 
most anything.
Normally the 'goodies' in the box are wrapped in some kind of plastic or 
bubble wrap (or in the case of Elecraft kits, smaller boxes) If you 
reach in and extract the enclosed items you can normally pick up the box 
and dump (brush) the packing peanuts into a garbage bag or other container.

Be cautious about what you are packing when using those large air-filled 
bags.  They work fine for lightweight items, but for heavy items like a 
radio, those air bags often get compressed and burst allowing the 
heavier objects to move around in the shipping carton - a recipe for damage.
