Hi Maureen,

For me, it would be the electric field (in the air). I need 1/4 mile to
completely not feel it, and 300 feet makes a big difference. Can you
move out farther from the transformer?

Attach a large copper wire 30 gauge is good - or ground wire for houses - and attach it to the tent spikes so that it forms a closed circle. Then when the electricity flows through the ground it will circle around you taking the path of least resistance. You might want to dig a small trench to hide the wire so you will not trip over it.
