Officially, the copper rods aren"t even right for the type of electric a charger puts out. It should be galvanized, of all things. It should be deep enough to hit moist ground, which is why that say 5 or 6 feet. And they like 3 rods for the "real" fencers. Ok, so this is a small fencer, and want to move it. I"d buy a better fencer & energize the main fence, just hook onto that. Will make the next 20 years a lot easier. But that isn"t what you wanted to hear. :) Could you run a smooth wire along one side, inside your fence posts, and make that live? Make it a permanent instalation, then hook the portable wire onto that? It"s just you are really making a lot of work for yourself without a live wire available to clip onto..... In real dry conditions what they do is alternate hot & ground wires. That doesn"t work either, because you only have 1 temp wire. What is your main fence constructed of? Wire contacting many metal fence posts? You could try hooking the ground clip - firmly! - to a metal fence post or wire on the main fence. Then all those (short, tho...) metal posts will spread out the grounding around the whole pasture area. This has a good chance of working. Unless you have dry sandy soils. So, I suppose you have all wooden posts..... You have an awkward situation there. --->Paul

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
