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
