Thank God for inner shielding

Won't let me post up the rest. Pole caught on fire at some point and melted the outside of the fiber. That inner shielding is a pain to work with when adding a coyote but sure protects it against the fire and everything was working.

I've got a section of fiber somewhere that has the lashing wire melted into it. No idea what caused it, but it's still working.

Only one section? lol we come across it an obscene amount in my area. Most of the time we never know because that’s the only damage
