What's Wrong with Fingerless Gloves?

ouch--i have enough trouble with barb wire
but i did have fun last summer introducing some city kids to an electric fence

 

Well, you know what they say, "Don't whiz on the electric fence."

I got enough of the barbed wire when I was a kid. Never complain that you're bored or that it's raining, because there's always fence to be fixed. It's a hateful job, especially in water or bush, but it's way easier than razor wire.

 

My oldest brother had a business fencing oilfield leases around southern Alberta. When I was about 13-15 I was working for him and 2-3 of us could completely fence three leases per day: ~400' x 400' (IIRC), three wood posts at each corner, steel t-bar posts between and three strands of barbed wire. For the corner posts he had a post-pounder, but all the t-bar posts were pounded in by hand with a heavy pipe. We first started stringing wire by just putting a t-bar post through a roll of barbed wire and sitting on the tailgate holding it while my oldest brother dove across the lone prairie. That proved to occasionally be hazardous... especially when there was a snag in the roll. After that we would put a couple of stakes in the corner pockets and lay the t-bar across the bed. That too could be hazardous... especially at about 30 mph.

I'm actually surprised we never ended up with any fingerless gloves.

 

Evidently he doesnt have children... LOL

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Actually by "Practices"....I meant the beached whales sunning themselves...

 

Do it the Mexican way.....

Build a block wall....on the cap, take broken bottles and mortar them in....Better and cheaper than razor wire.....

 

A Chicago favorite is to pound nails through a board and mount that on top of the wall with the nails sticking up! When they rust, they will get puncture wounds and tetanus!

I only wear gloves when riding the harley otherwise I don't but it also depends on the load once I was hauling Kidney bean seeds and I guess the chemicals they put on them are very poisonous so I wore gloves then but as for fingerless gloves I don't really see a point.
