Per recent ICON Digest Topic...I've been waiting for the topic of poor packing to come up again, so that I could post this photo of a package I received a few months back from a fellow collector. I swear it could have been run over by a semi and still come through with the insulator intact. My wife made fun of me as I struggled to get through the outer layer of duct tape, only to find a form fitting Styrofoam vault inside, with the insulator wrapped in newspaper and stuffed inside it. Though somewhat comical while unwrapping, I'll take his method of packing any day, over the triple-ridge Mershon I received last fall in a box with a few pieces of loose crumpled up newspaper for packing.

BTW: the nice yellow green "almost chartreuse looking" keg was an unexpected gift from Pat Barkwell…

Thanks buddy!
