I use 1/4 inch AMP spade connectors , male and female as a breakaway
point on my open wire feeder. I greased them up with dielectric grease
to keep the water out. Automotive bullet connectors might be a tighter fit

I have several 600 foot beverages made of WD-1A mil wire that run through heavy woods. They can handle the random falling branch
but when a large tree falls over them they break. The wire is held in place with electric fence plastic insulators that are
nailed to trees every 100 feet. I would like to add a smaller diameter wire to each insulator to act as a "fuse" when a
tree falls across them. I am looking for ideas as to the best way to do this. Maybe a number 26 wire? The wire size
has to be heavy enough to support the wire in normal use but weak enough to break when hit by a
tree. Suggestions? 73 Randy W9ZR
