This was hands down the most informative grounding class I have ever been a part of. Actual testing backing up information rather than just theory. It changed my thought process of how to properly ground and the purpose for it.
Best grounding class I have been through yet. All of the tests and experiments are what sets it apart from others
I’d take any class Caleb would like to teach.
