I see this is a few years old but this is really well done and helpful, thanks.
Thank you so much for such a detailer information! Amazing job at conveying the procedures.
This video is just perfect. Thanks for your job. You're a great teacher
Wow. Very useful information. Thank you so much! I will practice these with my friends this winter.
Great informative video 👍 just right to the point, no need to repeat yourself, and also just love that you took the time to do/show each test. That’s a lot of good knowledge to know I think. Right on bud 👍❄️❄️ Well thanks for that and hope you have a good winter. It’s been a pretty crazy winter in the Intermountain West this year and I would only guess that it might just stay that way too.
Excellent
Thanks! Great video
Hi, thanks for the video. Can you please clarify the ECT result of ECTN when you get propagation >1tap after the initiation? would you record ECTN( number of taps for initiation) or ECTN (number for propagation)?
I just wanted to see the snow!
Hi,it's a very good explanation, but I can't understand what is "sudden planar","sudden collapse" and so on. Thank you!

Why you gotta fry my node like this when I’m just trying to carry my shovel and probe like a BA and sorta keep my offspring safe?
“Light and inexpensive” compared to what?? A Porsche??
Wuh this video is so good. Downloaded for my kids one day. For real.
