Misnomers part 2: "Wire nuts" then "wire clips" and finally "guy clips" - all referring to wire rope clamps. Sheesh. Every part has a proper name. As a general rule, only the terminology used in the written instructions should be used in an instructional video, assuming it is correct in the first place. Then, we he starts describing the bowline, he refers to an overhand loop as a "half hitch" which is something very different. When you purport to instruct others as an expert, these details are important. Like critical details, as in how to lay out and install the base and guy anchors, which wasn't covered in these videos at all.

No mention of the use of insulators on the guy wires. Hope for no lightning

What are the guy lines attached to? I'm getting ready to put one of these towers up, same height, same brand, but it came with augers and the instructions say to run all wires through the same eye.
