My brother puts a lot of breaks, or places where the electric fence can be unhooked, for ease of finding problems. For example, if we notice the electric fence isn't working, we go to our first break and unhook. If the fence then works, we know the problem is beyond the first break. If not, we know the issue is up to the first break. We repeat the process until the problem area is found. We have a steep, wooded hill that we hate to walk, but it must be walked to check the fence; therefore, we have a fence unhook at the top and bottom with the ability to drive around to each area. We can determine if the problem is in that area without walking the fence; if not, we can skip the walk in the woods. We use this method to eliminate the need to walk the entire fence with the possibility of overlooking something if there is an issue. This at least narrows the issue down to a certain area.
This came up in casual conversation with a couple of older guys working at TSC, and they acted like they never heard of doing that. Is this really that uncommon?
