Yep I just wrap in heavy brown paper then tape it.  The I wrap it in shrink wrap and tape it.  Put on addresses and good to go.

X2 on the plastic wrap.  Works great!  I wrap a little packing tape around it ever foot or 2 to make me feel better, but I doubt it's necessary.  Saranwrap came out with some red plastic wrap over the holidays which got them chuckling at the PO.

Thanks folks! I have shrink wrap, industrial size, and also large rolls of butcher paper! Sounds like either will work.

Heading to Cloverdal with my son in a bit. If any of ya are there, look us up at the Muzzleloading overhang. Be just down from Gary Davis.

Happy Father's Day to ya all!
