I flew back from California last year with three bottles of wine in my checked bag -- I just wrapped them all in t-shirts and then nestled the bottles between other layers of clothing to add a layer of "suspension". Worked flawlessly and had no issues with checking it. Any modern hard-shell luggage and you shouldn't have much to worry about. As u/doggodadcare mentioned, there are some helpful products online mostly used for shipping purposes, but they can help you rest easy and are fairly cheap.

i put a thin layer of packing foam around the middle pole then wrapped it in black duct tape. Totally killed the noise.

Extra tip: Get stretch film tape to wrap your pieces together. Makes them so much easier to move.
Amazon - Gaffer Tape
Wiki - Gaffer Tape
It's basically the go-to tape in the UK. "Hey, this is broke, recommendations?" "Gaffer Tape". Literally the first thing we go to.
40 yards a roll. at 50 cents plus tax (53 cents). So 1.3 cents per yard
I got these recently(For $39.xx it is now $42.75)
36 rolls at 110 yards
110 yards a roll at a little less than $1.20 per roll 1.1 cents per yard. Came in a free box, with no gasoline cost and 2 minutes of my time.
50 cents a roll is good, but if you want a bunch this is easier and slightly cheaper. $43 vs about $50 for the same qty
No worries! I've found that the brown, paper tape for shipping boxes works great.
Example
Cool sounding project, promise you'll update with pictures!
Anova is usually on sale for like $80. Works great and simple to use
You can use it in a plastic tub or pot. Also, I use a roll of these and cut them with these.
Vacuum sealers are nice to have but not necessary. You can just use a sturdy ziploc bag and water displacement before sealing. Or you can just clip it to the side of the pot, no sealing necessary.
Some companies make bubble wrap pouches. Like a bubble mailer, except just the inside part. You might see if there are suppliers in your area. Here's an example, but they come in all different sizes.

Otherwise you're going to have to weigh the amount of time it takes to package these items versus the money you're losing by buying premade packing supplies.
Do you mean styrofoam packing peanuts? They come in a couple of shapes.
Wrap everything in anti-static wrap
Uhm it's in the description of what you linked.

And the cheapest I can find a roll is https://www.amazon.co.jp/2-75-375-%E8%A3%9C%E5%BC%B7Gummed%E3%83%9A%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%83%95%E3%83%88%E3%83%86%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97-for%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%81%A8%E3%83%91%E3%83%83%E3%82%B1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8-2-75%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%81x-375%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88-%E5%95%86%E7%94%A8%E5%93%81%E8%B3%AA/dp/B009W4ASW0/ref=sr_1_68?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1505348492&sr=1-68&keywords=%E3%83%9A%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%83%95%E3%83%88%E3%83%86%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97
You could get some autoclave tape, it indicates when something has been sterilized.
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
as long as the items aren't really expensive, I think it's fine for Ebay. I would not send Etsy items this way, just because buyers there do seem to prefer a little more "class" in the packaging.
As a previous poster mentioned, I think packaging the way you do probably eats up a lot of time. Could you afford something like these bubble bags? Yes, they are more expensive than Ziploc bags, but at 10 cents per piece, maybe the time savings would be worth it.
So I am doing this to for Christmas. Here is what I am using. Obviously your results will depend on your printer/paper. I am not fully done, I had to order new tape this weekend.
Save yourself money and do not use the gorilla glue wide tape, it is cloudy with weird dots.
Print, seal with tape, cut out, apply. Add extra glue as need.
I was also thinking about this when I first moved here, and I decided that the best idea was just to bring the expensive (but not too heavy) parts with me. i.e. GPU, RAM, CPU, SSD/HDD, maybe MoBo.
PSUs are way too heavy, and depending on where you're moving from there might be some compatibility issues with Japanese power supplies. Just buy it here.
Cases are also heavy compared to their price, best to just buy one here.
I also had a liquid cooling system (Corsair H100i), but decided not to bother since it's also pretty heavy for the price (and didn't want to risk any of the lines breaking and spilling liquid everywhere).
With regards to wrapping, by bubble wrap do you mean the anti-static kind? If not, then you should look into that. It's pretty cheap.
We use a water activated tape machine in our warehouse. If we are packing in the field we use this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PMHZVO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We probably pack a couple of thousand boxes with Duck HD a year. We've had 1 issue where the tape wouldn't adhere well in a non heated warehouse in January when it was around 15 degrees F.
You can find somewhat comparable tape cheaper in a lot of cases, but we find these to be consistently the same quality and predictable. We one swipe 50 pound 12x12x16 boxes pretty much every day with it. It's also crystal clear if you are laminating labels or water proofing.
Good luck.
The size you linked is medium. Assuming an "average medium human body" is about 150lbs, we can use this site to calculate the average volume at around 2.38 cubic feet.
Since the suit is likely designed to fit a little loose, it would probably take more like 3 cubic feet to fill the whole suit comfortably.
Amazon sells about 3 cubic feet of peanuts for ten bucks.

Googling got me here and specifically to this bit:
> Redacting a Paper Document
>
> Before scanning the document:
>
> Cut-out (literally) all the text to be redacted and properly dispose of (shred) the clippings. This method will always be 100% effective.
>
> Use opaque (100% impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent) tape or paper to cover over the sections to be redacted. Do not use plain-paper as the scanner may pick up images through the paper. Even some black paper may allow some light reflection - so be careful.
So either bust out that xacto knife and start slicing out words manually or pick up something like this and cut strips to cover the text you want redacted. Or use a glue like rubber cement or superglue, and brush it onto the back side of a piece of black construction paper you've cut out to cover the text you want redacted.
Personally, I'd cut the documents with an xacto, tape them to a sheet of black paper, and then run a copy of it and age that document using your favored method. Otherwise what you'd be wanting is a transcribed copy of a redacted document. Remember that documents were usually triplicate or duplicate so an original unredacted version went into a file somewhere, and then the cut-up redacted version was sent out to the clerks and transcribed for distribution from there. Generally by a clerk with a typewriter.
Could probably shrink that URL down a bit:

Or even use markdown properly...
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.
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.

> 3.2mil Duck HP260
Seems to be this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XJOBUS/ref=twister_B00O1KAYZ6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
But costs $20
An addition to this tip...once bagged. You can make these less floppy by further wrapping with shrink film. Makes them a little easier to move, though possibly more wrinkly (depending on fabrics).
For shipping we like Duck HP260. Never had an issue with it.
And this.

I use a roll of packing foam I picked up from a hardware store and cutout a small piece for each slot. That keeps the ships from jostling around. Obviously fitted foam would be even more secure, but I've been using this exact storage setup for years and not had any ships break on me yet.
Is this what you're looking for? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YM2XZ18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_owT5ybJKYC7NE
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.

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.

Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, etc. all sell something similar.
Nah. Bandaids come off way before you hit 100 miles. Took about 17 for me, and I had no extras, or body glide. So, that was a rough back 14.
This is what you want. NipEaze sells the same stuff in precut circles for stuuuupid prices. This will not come off no matter how much you sweat. It also hurts a bit to take it off after the race. But it's worth it to not feel your nipple scrape your t-shirt with every step.
So, cheaper and more effective than bandaids.
Almost looks like you ordered [this.](

Nah, dude I got /u/UnidanX locked in my dungeon, only problem is I recently lost my job and so I can't afford the duck tape, I keep him tied up with, could somebody get me some more. I have just 0.0002 btc in my savings account but would happily send it in return, I know it doesn't cover the full price, but it's all I got.
I just bought this crap and am using about 4x as much. It would be cheaper to buy the pricey 3m tape. >http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WRJIGU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Tengo un PO Box en Texas para recibir cosas de Amazon. La semana pasada fui a recoger mis cosas, y siempre vienen con un montón de empaques para proteger la mercancía, incluyendo estas bolsas con aire. No me parece correcto que se use tanto plástico, y que después se tenga que tirar a la basura, pero de perdido reviento las bolsas antes de meterlas al bote para que el camión de la basure no queme gasolina para transportar aire. Empecé a reventarlas en el estacionamiento del mall una por una hasta que vi que la gente alrededor se alarmó. Así andan de nerviosos.
i'm not gonna get it.
