    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.

    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)?

    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?
