\"CloseUpHandles\"<\/a>

Duck tape the padded “handles” of the loose straps<\/p><\/div>\n

When I travel back and forth by plane from Colorado to Alaska, or vice versa, I have never traveled light.\u00a0 I am always loaded with my work, supplies, fish, berries, etc.\u00a0 Many years ago, my father showed me this trick-of-the-loaded-traveler-trade.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, with “homeland security” and all, wrapping our boxes with rope is futile; they just cut the rope off, cut open your box, and inspect it.\u00a0 I don’t want to waste my rope.\u00a0 But how do we still have our handles and use them too?<\/p>\n

Instead of tightly wrapping your box, just make two loose-fitting straps with rope, duck tape the ends with extra tape wrapped around as show in photo.\u00a0 Remove the loose straps before you check your box into baggage; place your straps inside your suitcase pocket, or your carry-on.\u00a0 Bring them out when you arrive at your destination’s baggage claim, slip them back around your box, and get moving!<\/p>\n
