"Hi! This is Mike on behalf of expertvillage.com. For more information about how to pack a bike, please visit Prairie Path Cycles in Winfield, Illinois or check us out on line at www.prairiepathcycles.com. In this clip, we are going to be going over the materials needed to pack your bike to ship and the first and foremost, is the bike box. Other than that, you are going to need a few more things. One is material to wrap around the bike to protect it. You can use an assortment of different things; like here you can use some old cut up towels or shirts or anything to wrap around the bike frame or you can get some styrofoam which you can get some circular stuff which goes around the tubes pretty good and just make sure you tape it on so it doesn't slide around too much. Other than that, you can just use plastic and a little bit of cardboard just to wrap around it. Pretty much anything to protect the frame will be good and you can use it on as little or as much as the frame as you would want. Other than that, you will need some zip ties. You can pick these up at your local bike shop or any hardware store and you can use these to tie the front wheel down to the bike and tie the handle bars down to the frame or pretty much anything that is going to be loose that you want secure so that it doesn't rattle around too much that ties real good. The two other things you are going to need is a front wheel block and this goes inside your fork so you when you are shipping it, it doesn't end up bending anything; it's real good to protect your fork. The other thing you will need to protect it is a rear derailure axel protector. This will go around by your rear axel and kind of stick out your frame so it helps your derailure not to get in the way or get bent or crushed or anything like that."

The first and most fundamental thing is never hike alone. There are too many situations, especially as an unexperienced hiker, where you may find yourself without anyone to help you. So the buddy system works and applies very much in hiking.
