Looking for opinions on whether to run dry line above the wet line all the way between point A & point B. I know you should have the dry a foot or so above on the ends, but is the really a need to run 2 separate wires the whole way?

Somewhere around 800 - 900 taps on Atlas Copco vacuum
1 Sap Ladder & 1 can
2 1/2 x 10 Waterloo/Small, with Piggyback & hood,
Air over & under fire
CDL autodrawoff, Homemade drawoff/filter tank with pump,
Lapierre Sirofilter, modified steam pan bottler
I look at it this way.. wire is the cheap part. Imagine your wet line frozen full and the dry line now heavy with sap. Lots of extra weight on one line that can be eliminated for very little money.

No performance reason why they can't run on the same wire.

A lot of help to make it fun
use tension grips, they work great. tighen up tight as heck, then use 5/16 and a straight connector to pull back to a tree that is near to tighen even more if on a shallow slope. seems to work fine for me, i hate wire tying!!!

No reason at all to do that. As long as you have good slope you can do that. Where you tie the two together you will need to run two wires. Then the dry line will need to run at less of a slope until both lines come back together. The key is to make sure the dry line always has positive slope sp if you have any liquid in it it is always running down hill.
