[Elecraft] ESD prevention

[RC]

Hi Gang
I am slightly confused! When using ESD protective 
measures you should use:
1) a wrist strap connected to
2) an anti-static mat.
3)You should build/work on the anti-static mat to be 
certain that all components (and you)are at the same 
electrical potential there by minimizing any ESD damage.
4)should you connect the anti-static mat to the carpet 
with a long clip lead?
5)or house electrical ground?
6)or should the mat/yourself/components voltage FLOAT 
at the same potential.
OF the several Elecraft kits I've built I don't believe 
that I've had any ESD damage by using steps 1,2,3 & 6.
I'll soon be starting a KX1 tribander which I believe 
is more sensitive to ESD and my new seniors residence 
has carpet instead of a concrete slab/tile floor
