VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

So segmenting the stretch, right, we’re going to need typically a 50 foot plank.

The golden rule is nozzle and coupling at the door. That’s the length I’m always worried about that middle segment is going to be my LT or the Engineer.

If you guys are good at converting bytes into loops. Feel free to loop it right in that space. Right.

Cause think about our apartments. Right. You’re going to have a pretty small entry point. You can turn around furniture everywhere you want a small space, make loops if you need too.

If it’s bundled or I keep that section bundled, I can drop it at the door and I’ve got multiple options off-side room, deep-side away structure.

So you laid out in here. You came down this hallway. We’ve got our coupling and our nozzle to the door.Just go back a few steps. Grab our bite.

And drag it back.

Then we’re not hand-overhanging supply over the top of our attack.

“The golden rule is nozzle and coupling at the door.”
