Spotted a clever grounding method while hiking in Switzerland

I was on a trail in the Alps last month and stopped at a small mountain hut for lunch. The owner was having trouble with a light fixture, and I offered to take a look since I've done some basic wiring before. He showed me how they use a special kind of clamp for grounding rods that handles wet soil really well. It was a simple brass piece that screwed on, way easier than what I'm used to seeing. We got the light working, and he explained that in high moisture areas, they always double up on sealant too. It made me think about how we handle outdoor jobs here, especially near water. Has anyone else run into different grounding tricks from other places? I'd love to hear if there are better ways to deal with damp conditions.
