What happens here

The presenter's custom flagpole, made from irrigation pipe and embedded in a concrete base, had its 'Don't Tread on Me' flag detached due to strong winds. To fix this, first, carefully slide the upper section of the flagpole, which holds the flags, out of the larger PVC pipe embedded in the concrete base. Once lowered, observe the point of failure, which was a torn grommet on the flag. Use a durable zip tie to securely reattach the flag to the pole. After the flag is reattached, carefully slide the flagpole back into its concrete base, ensuring it is stable and upright. This temporary fix ensures the flag flies correctly and restores its appearance.

Goal: Reattach the detached flag on the custom flagpole.
