I used to think zip ties were the only way to secure a drop line... then a storm in Tulsa showed me I was wrong.

My uncle is a lineman in Oklahoma and he swears by the double wrap method with rope. He said zip ties can snap under real pressure from wind or ice. Saw a video from that Tulsa storm where a whole section came down because the ties just gave out. It made me switch to using a proper knot with heavy cord for my own stuff. The extra two minutes it takes feels worth it now.

A whole section came down from zip ties? That's wild. I've seen them break but never take out a whole line. Your uncle's probably right about the rope then.
