Glad you enjoyed it

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!

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

Three for the price of one... thanks brother. That gate catch is awesome, proving the adage that simplicity is divinity.

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

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.

Thx for sharing your knowledge in a clear and concise video. Now I know how to fix my broken fence. Excellent!

I came here and found several of your fencing videos very helpful!! Saved me some frustration and money

This really helped me fix my messed up barbed wire without spending a ton on splice kits. Thank you

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.

I'm planning on putting up a fence this coming spring. Your videos are a great help. Taking all the notes I can.

THANK YOU! Perfect! Just what I was looking for to fix an old fence.

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

Great info. My wife and I have watched this three times now; today we need to splice wire the deer tore up. Thanks for the tutorial.

Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to put the video together.

I greatly appreciate that video we just bought our 42 acres and are getting ready to fence it thank you and God bless you

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.

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.

Thanks again Luke for the great tips on fixing fence . God Bless and have a good day

Thank you, Luke. I have been looking for a better way to splice barbed wire fencing here in Texas. Great job!

Thank you for the video. I'll be fixing my first fence soon and this was very helpful.

Great video watched it in the pasture! It worked great!

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.

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!

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.

Just click, watch, learn... Thank you for sharing, Very informative! God bless you brother!

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.

You are amazing, I'm learning tons! thanks for your cool attitude ;)

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 KZread it. I think they might be over priced for what they are ,but they're slick.

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.

The clean content is appreciated. The tips are pretty good too.

Awesome video, I guess with fencing not much changes except for a few things here and there. I've worked at our family ranch all my life after my full time job and nothing relaxes me more than working on fences and being able to fix the fence. Wearing gloves is a must especially if you're dealing new barbed wire, the barbs are razor sharp. In South Texas we call those temporary gates falsetes, I guess because it's just a false gate that works but the latches that we use are barbed less wire that is just looped around the top of the two poles. That method of latch I had never seen before, I will sure make a few to try them out. Thanks for the very informative video. Great job fellow rancher I like how you communicate with your cow Rose. Hahaha. 🤠👌👍👍

Thanks for the demonstration of the Y splice. We shoot prairie dogs in eastern MT and sometimes shoot a barbed wire. We usually do a double loop repair with a splice because we don't have enough slack in the wire, but it's nice to know how to do the Y splice if we have enough slack in the wire. The Western splice might work if we have enough slack.
