High-Tensile Termination Knot Demonstration

Fencing on STEEP HILLS! Day 2 Farm Fencing Competition!!
What happens here
Jake Wilson (Wilson Fencing) demonstrates tying a high-tensile termination knot on a wooden post. First, bring the line wire around the post. Take the stripped running end of the wire over the unstripped line wire, then push it back towards the center of the post, creating a sharp bend down. This makes a handle to pull. The running end is then wrapped around the main line wire twice, creating two points of friction. For a third point of friction, wrap it back over the woven wire end and then around the line wire again. Finally, bend the running end at a 90-degree angle and rotate it clockwise until it snaps off, leaving no sharp edges.
Goal: Learn how to tie a secure high-tensile termination knot for fencing.
