Run and Secure Polybraid Hot Wire

What happens here

Prepare to run the polybraid hot wire along the fence line. Use a strain-rite geared reel for efficient deployment. To start, tie a simple square knot to create a loop at the end of the polybraid, which makes it easier to attach the wire to the reel for storage or to connect it to other sections. Once the insulators are in place, thread the polybraid through them. It's important to leave some slack in the wire at the insulators rather than tying it too tightly. This allows the wire to expand in summer and shrink in winter without breaking or pulling the fence posts. The presenter demonstrates wrapping the polybraid around the insulator multiple times to secure it while still allowing for movement.

Goal: String the polybraid hot wire through all the installed insulators.
