Wow, the image of someone hurling a packed pot across the room makes me
shiver. (Perhaps I'd like to do it too?) Would you care to pass on any info
as to how this super-packing is accomplished? Or direct us to a site with a
demo :-) if such exists?
Thanks and best regards,

Reminds me of a memorable pack-out of household goods in Bahrain. We
had been stationed there for two years. We had bought a set of wine
glasses in Venice many years earlier when we were stationed in
Europe. Two packers wrapped eeach glass and every other breakable
thing in selsor, then heavy brown paper and tossed them to the fellow
stuffing a heavy cardborad with them. I cringed every time a glass
went across the room and was sure that I'd be unpacking shattered
glass.
Every one of them survived. But the selsor was Murder during
unpacking--I vacuumed for days.
