My Dad raised me hunting and fishing….. included in our gear, was a fence repair “kit”…. Often times I learned more about fencing than hunting or fishing….. one of the splicing techniques you used was one my Dad taught me…. Good Memories!
When you mentioned to use old wire for mending barbed wire it immediately reminded me of Matt 9:14-17. "Don't put new wine in old skins". Also, thanks for the tip because we are going to have to cut a fence soon and splice it back later. This will help a lot.
Sure appreciate you encouraging us all the time with your kind comments. Sure like your handle on UA-cam to. We could use some more every day patriots in this here country that we all live in. God save the republic and happy trails Luke
I sure wish you'd been around in my younger farming days... I could have saved myself a lot of work knowing what I've learned from your videos. Never had a fence stretcher till recently. Don't work the farm anymore but just had to have a stretcher... I couldn't help myself.. "fencing pliars"... Still have one! They're not just for fencing anymore! A great multi tool! Thanks
Wayne how did you stretch your fence without a fencing stretcher, what method did you use? Well when you decide to retire your fence and stretchers and fencing pliers let me know, I’ll put them to good use for you.😉 Happy trails Luke
Always dispose of old Barbwire and Barb‘s, do not throw on the ground. Cattle can eat them and get hardware disease. 1. 2Y marriage method 2. The western union method 3. The twin loop method. Thanks for watching I hope you find this information handy. Happy trails Luke
Well I don’t know about great, but I hope it helped. Sure appreciate you dropping by leaving a comment it sure does help us keep gas in the tank making these videos. Happy trails Luke
I wish could attach a picture to show you :). I had to splice and join the cuts on 4 strands of bar wire today and your instructional video was so helpful! Thank you!
A thousand.. maybe 2 thousand watch this in a couple of days... lol 76k now. Thanks for the info we're putting up our first barb wire fence and your tips/teaching has helped tremendously!
Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to create this video. I retired and moved from the city to the country. When I say country, I mean, my neighbors are cows. I had to replace 125' feet of fence and did NOT know how to splice the wire. Now I KNOW! Thanks again.
Using the Y method now it’s unbelievable. I think it’s stronger than the actual wire it’s self. It’s a bit more time consuming tho. Thank for making this video
I knew how to splice wire, but that is a neat idea you have there to close a fence gap/gate when it is tight! I always seem to learn something from your videos. And they are entertaining too! Thanks
Thank you David. I want people to see God’s light. He is the sun and I am the moon, it is our job to reflect his light to a dark dark world. Thanks my friend and happy trails Luke
Not much chance I will ever have to splice a barbwire fence (I live in the middle of a city of about 100 thousand and I have a strong suspicion that the city leaders would frown on the thought of me putting up a barbwire fence around my house :-) ) yet here I am learning three methods of splicing a fence. So much to learn in this world, and so little time to learn much of it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Luke, you and these videos are every day proof that you can learn something every day. I been fixing fence all my life and today was the first time I ve seen a y method splice. Its obviously superior to what I been doing but never thought of doing it. I recently learned about a tool called the texas fencing tool. It is great for taking a little slack out without restreching the whole line. If you get a chance UA-cam it. I think they might be over priced for what they are ,but they're slick.
They are very neat, I have a friend that has one and he is going to borrow it to me and I’m going to do a video on it. I think it would be a very cool tool to have but I just don’t want to spend that kind of money on something I don’t necessarily need.
@@BacktotheBasics101 I broke down and bought one, and I don't regret having it. That being said now that I've held one I think I could build one, but dont think I could improve on the original.
When I was growing up on our family farm we just used a the claw end of a hammer to tighten up the fencing. Dad had me and my brothers all out there doing it. Just slide the claw onto the wire, parallel to the wire, bend the hammer up or down 90-degrees and repeat several times between the two posts and it's back to tight. Each bend takes a good inch of slack out.
What I like about your videos is you don’t have music, much better if you are talking. Your the first person that said what they are making. Wow your land just goes on for ever. Joe in Dunedin,Florida. City boy here.
Thank you for this!!!!! God bless you my friend. We broke NEW fence wire yesterday.....TWICE! Stretching over our terraced oklahoma hillsides is a tricky proposition. Keep up the great work here!
Really all the knots you need for barbed wire I agree. I too now use your staple trick, and in a short time that has proved to be a good time saver. Also got one of those heavy duty plastic nylon boxes to keep all my fencing gear in now I just throw the whole box in the pickup and go everything in there except post and barbed wire. Always looking forward to another video from you Luke and savoring the last one. Please take care.
Well thank you you made my night. Those heavy duty plastic violin boxes are awesome I’ve got three of them in full-time use all the time. And that complementary stable, well it’s pretty handy. Thanks again for watching and for your feedback. Happy trails Luke
Well thank you brother. Thank you for for watching very much appreciate it. I sure appreciate the input and the encouragement. Hope the info helps. Happy trails Luke
Let me know how they work for you. Thank you for for watching very much appreciate it. I sure appreciate the input and the encouragement. Hope the info helps. Happy trails Luke
Luke that is great video. I learned the y method years ago when and older Native American taught it to me when we were working on fence on a cow lease I had neat Riudoso, NM. I have never used anothe method to mend fence dice that day. Also on the wire gate tool....I learned that one years ago myself when I was working down on South Texas as a Border Patrol Agent. Those tools were on all the wire gates down there and dam they were useful!!! I fabricate my own and use them on my ranch in NM. This is great info keep up the great videos.
I'm about the fence 7 wooded acres I recently purchased and have never done work like this before. You're videos are very helpful and I like the old fashioned feel of them. Thanks 👍
Well I don’t know about wisdom. Hopefully with a little luck I got some wisdom anyways. Somethings I think of myself but most things I learn from people that are much wiser than me. Sure appreciate you dropping by leaving comments it keeps us filled up and make it more videos. Happy trails friend Luke
@@BacktotheBasics101 Luke, I believe seeing the wisdom in others is a mandatory step to having wisdom, ourselves. Plus my dad used to say, "Experience is a great teacher, specially someone else's, because you will never live long enough to make all the silly mistakes yourself." Great video and I enjoyed it all. Have a blessed day.
Awesome, Thankyou for sharing & especially the Bible verse at the end , I have a broken barb wire I need to fix , now I know how to do it the correct way , may God Bless
Good show. One thought it should be clear that bits of wire, barbs, staples and metal should never be dropped on the ground. They get lost or forgotten and often get picked up by the animal, or end up in the hay. Put them in something a can
Just found your channel, have some wire to fix on the new property. Straight and to the point and a bible verse and Christian values. Sir, you just got another sub and like. Keep up the great work.
Love your fence repair videos as a long time rancher now retired but still Active with animals I still gotta keep up my fences Trump 2020 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍 Trump Jr 2024 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Well I’m glad you find the videos interesting. Trump is doing a great job for the most part I would say he’s at least 90% awesome. I got a little twitchy when I was talking about taking my guns. But other than that he’s doing great. God save the republic🇺🇸
@@BacktotheBasics101 Agreed! But now, not even finished with Biden's first year, we can see just how bad Democrats are and how wonderful was President Trump!

Real good information for us beginners. I’m glad I found your channel. I’ve got a lot of fence to fix up and this gave me so good tips. Appreciate you sir.
Thanks so much for all your time and effort and expertise in helping us wanna be’s learn to fix fence and so many other ranching, farming, homesteading needed skills. Your professional wisdom is so very much appreciated. Always learning from your channel and increasing new skills. Much appreciate all your generous labors of love. Mucho Gracias
Luke, just watched this again. great way to splice barbed wire. My father in law always kept any pieces he took down or replaced, had a huge pile of repair supplies .
This is a great tip. I fence around an oat patch for deer and trees and limbs and cows are a constant problem. Old fence to new fence to kinked and really screwed up fence, etc. I'll be using this soon. Thank you!
Thanks Luke. I am learning the most useful, practical things from you that one just can't learn anywhere else. I've always used the loop method but in the future will be using the Y method as it will result in a superior mend. Thanks to you I've got the best shoe/boot laces available (para cord), the best stud finder available and a really neat screw driver. I am so much better fixin and mending things now and you are one of the main reasons. What I appreciate the most is that you teach independence and self reliance!! I really love your UA-cam channel and the Godly man that you are. Keep them comin and "Happy Trails", Mike
Mike, this possibly is one of the nicest comments I’ve ever heard. It is everything I hoped that the channel would be someday. Thank you very much I hope to live up to all those high standards. May Lord guide and keep you. Happy trails Luke
Thank you! We had 20-30 trees fall in the recent wind storms that hit Montana. We lost 5 sections of the fence from trees that fell through all 4 wires and 1 gate post + section. My FIL did the repairs until he passed 2 years ago. So my MIL is doing them now. I really want to learn how, so I can help. Your videos have been great! Thank you!
This was a very helpful lesson on how to fix my barbed wire fence which was cut in several places by people wanting to hunt on my land even though I had no trespassing signs up.
Fantastic! I've been using the loop method for my barbed wire and the second method you showed for my high tensile hot wire. Tomorrow I plan on trying out your split wire splice. Thanks for the video and God bless.
Nicely done Sir! Id say helping my buddy on his farm back east in Western Maryland we mostly did the loop twist method or the number two method you showed here. It seemed to work okay over the years except his fence was in a bad way. I finally convinced him to completely take out and redo the fence out along the road. We tore out and replaced new probably close to 3/4 of mile of barbed wire three strand fence. Took us most of the summer since the ground was so rocky and hard to put in posts.That seemed to help for a few years in the broken fence that needed to be mended. The old fence really only worked at all because a cow would just get hung up in all the mended peices all tangled together so they just stayed away from it.
Woww!! Thank you for these awesome fence wire fixing methods , surefire to work everytime. I'm in a job where I do a lot of fence repairs in wire fences, hard work and satisfying but I've really been enjoying it and your expert knowledge and advice is a great help and a Godsend, thank you Sir.
I used your Y method today for an H post tension wire. Looks so much cleaner then what I normally do and held beautiful. I plan to use it more often with fence breaks. THANK You. BIG Thumbs up.
Thanks so much this is my third time watching this one I’ve been watching for about 4 months I love your show you’re a very likable person and so is your family I will be using your tricks and all your teaching and suggestions I just got 5 acres with 2 horses
Tried the 2Y method on a new 5 strand fence and its now my favourite way to splice barbed wire-it takes quite the pull! We got some 65+ year old barbed wire boundary fences and the loop method works great for the brittle wire. Much thanks for the tips.
It makes sense to use old wire to mend an older wire fence because it’s already been stretched. I’ve only used the loop method the few times I had to fix broken wire, but the next time I do I’ll try the 2 twist methods that you did in the video. Take care.
Kind of got a frog in my throat. I’m glad you haven’t retired that old fencing pliers. The day you do you let me know and I’ll put them to work for you.😉 Sure appreciate you keeping in contact with us and in doing so supporting us. Happy trails Luke
Well thanks friend for dropping by and saying that much needed information, I don’t care if you tie it with a bowtie. I’m just showing you different methods of doing it. For free I might add, most country folks that I know especially Ranch and folks have a more civil tongue in their mouth than you do friend. To each their own I guess. You’re welcome for the free video I provided for you for you to criticize freely. Happy trails Luke
Thank you for the fencing videos. Will use your advise for a little different application but the basics are really helpful. All the best to you and your family.
Very interesting. I sent a copy to my friends who just moved to Idaho. They lived on a small ranch just outside of LA (proximity to work) but now have retired to God’s country. Blessings
thanks bud I was raise on a farm in Sask Canada born in 1948 didn,t think I would every watch something like this on you tube LOL thanks for your time

What was that hook called to hold the gate to the post?
I agree on the barbs..left on the ground..me speaking as a horseman..but I really appreciate this video.
Ok Ship it should be called a shepherds hook

The old fence really only worked at all because a cow would just get hung up in all the mended peices all tangled together so they just stayed away from it.
Well thank you, sometimes just new fence is the answer. What I found out is don’t ever cheap out on junk Barb where in junk post.

Woww!! Thank you for these awesome fence wire fixing methods , surefire to work everytime. I'm in a job where I do a lot of fence repairs in wire fences, hard work and satisfying but I've really been enjoying it and your expert knowledge and advice is a great help and a Godsend, thank you Sir.
I used your Y method today for an H post tension wire. Looks so much cleaner then what I normally do and held beautiful. I plan to use it more often with fence breaks. THANK You. BIG Thumbs up.
Thank you you made my day.
Thanks for such good clear videos!
Best repair vid so far.
Thanks so much this is my third time watching this one I’ve been watching for about 4 months
I love your show you’re a very likable person and so is your family
I will be using your tricks and all your teaching and suggestions
I just got 5 acres with 2 horses
Tried the 2Y method on a new 5 strand fence and its now my favourite way to splice barbed wire-it takes quite the pull! We got some 65+ year old barbed wire boundary fences and the loop method works great for the brittle wire. Much thanks for the tips.
It makes sense to use old wire to mend an older wire fence because it’s already been stretched. I’ve only used the loop method the few times I had to fix broken wire, but the next time I do I’ll try the 2 twist methods that you did in the video. Take care.
Glad I could be of help. Let me know how it works for you.

Great job brother! Thanks for all your help and keep the scriptures coming! :-)
Have a set of fence pilers in my tool box for just general usage , very handy tool, bout 40 years old now.
Hope your tending that cold.
Kind of got a frog in my throat. I’m glad you haven’t retired that old fencing pliers. The day you do you let me know and I’ll put them to work for you.😉
Sure appreciate you keeping in contact with us and in doing so supporting us.

I was raised on a Ranch in Stonewall County Texas and have done my share of fencing. As to your splice no thankyou.
Well thanks friend for dropping by and saying that much needed information, I don’t care if you tie it with a bowtie. I’m just showing you different methods of doing it. For free I might add, most country folks that I know especially Ranch and folks have a more civil tongue in their mouth than you do friend. To each their own I guess.
You’re welcome for the free video I provided for you for you to criticize freely.

Thank you for the fencing videos. Will use your advise for a little different application but the basics are really helpful. All the best to you and your family.
All of your videos are really great and I find them very informative and guiding!

Thank you for the video. I'll be fixing my first fence soon and this was very helpful.
Thanks. I’ve visiting a friend at his ranch, this will help me fix part of his fence. I also appreciate the Christian comment.
Very interesting. I sent a copy to my friends who just moved to Idaho. They lived on a small ranch just outside of LA (proximity to work) but now have retired to God’s country. Blessings
