What happens here

A detailed demonstration of tying a high-tensile termination knot (also called a slip knot) for the Tornado Wire to the strainer post is provided. The first step is to remove as much slack as possible. Then, the wire is wrapped under, over, under, and over the main wire. A 'lazy loop' (long wrap) is made, followed by two tight wraps. The excess wire is 'rung off' rather than cut to prevent sharp edges.

Goal: Securely attach the high-tensile wire to the posts using a termination knot
