When cutting zip ties PLEASE use a flush cutter! Otherwise it leaves a little finger eating tab sticking out that will slice skin open!

If 6 meter e-skip drops under500 miles look to 2m SSB! Caught some 2 meter E-skip 2 weeks ago into FL from my location in SW MN

memories of field day when I was 14... 4 inches of rain in an hour... generator was under water, 20m tent had 4" of water on the floor... we dried stuff out, got a different generator that was dry and kept operating!

Ryobi 18 volt soldering station! Thing is sweet! Same battery as my drill, impact driver, skilsaw...

We use a lot of Bright Yellow safety tape.
And strings of Christmas Lights at night!!

If you can't find your side cutters punch a styrofoam cup over the end of the nylon tie.
