What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the correct way to tie a termination knot for high-tensile woven wire. Instead of starting the tie where wires cross (which leaves too much slack), pull the wire around the post and wrap it tightly around itself. The goal is to achieve a much tighter knot around the post, minimizing slack and preventing animals from getting a leg caught. The process involves creating several tight wraps around the main wire coming from the fence line and then wrapping it around the post.

Goal: Create a tight and secure termination knot on a fence post
