    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)?

    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?

    Hi,it's a very good explanation, but I can't understand what is "sudden planar","sudden collapse" and so on. Thank you!
