This sum I have been pondering abt for the longest
I was about 6 years old and told my parents I wanted pogo sticks for Christmas. I was shocked and disappointed at the strange looking pogo stick (singular). I was encouraged that this really was what I asked for. I had no clue what this was or how to walk on it. Much later they learned what I had really wanted were a pair of stilts. My dad made a pair each, for us kids and one for himself. I started out walking with it like your daughter, in your opening, arms wrapped around it. I loved them. What fun.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips with those of us that don't have the experience to do it right the first time! Great information.
Wonderful! I am just getting ready to string the wire around our perimeter, and I have a few hills and one valley. I had no idea that the wire would actually pull the t-posts out of the ground! Thank You for the tips! God Bless!
Good idea. I have hung old pieces of concrete or a a used battery on a t post to keep it from coming up.
Excellent tip! I’m really enjoying this fencing series. I will be putting these tips to work on our property. Thanks!
Thank you for your knowledge sharing and your faith witnessing. I appreciate them both.
T post to the wire: "you are very uplifting!"
Wire to the T post: "why do you always hold me down?"
Three videos in a row now. I think I'm actually learning something, thank you.
😬
Sometimes it shocks me that people are actually watching the videos. Kind of funny I guess. It started out for customers who Buy grass fed beef from us. Just to let them see how we raise cattle and how we live. And of course showing God‘s love to other people. But eventually it just kind of grew into tricks and so on.
Funny, three for me too! I used to know all these tricks but that was 35 years ago and I need a refresher
Great job, I learned from this video the smooth wire works great without shredding your arms.
Awesome! Just the trick I needed
Damn, I have been fencing for years and this is new to me. Awesome process, I will be using this technique this coming spring on a new section of fence.
Awesome video Luke. God bless
Great tips !!
Slick little trick God bless you and yours
Thanks so much,appreciate it.Ive no idea about it and I watch all your videos because I need them,now I know how do it at my piece of land.
Glad the video helped, thanks for dropping by and saying thanks, it’s greatly encouraging.
happy trails friend.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. New property owner learning how to fence.
You are very welcome and happy to be of help. It is very rewarding being a property owner. We have a whole series on fencing. Keep in touch and happy trails.

Really liked this as an option for an existing fence. I’m about to build a new fence and I am planning to essentially do a corner brace at the top and one at the bottom of the valleys. I think this will work as I will basically have straight run wire by doing that. I don’t really have the little dips like you were demonstrating in this video. I have seen big rocks used as anchors as well. Getting lots out of these fencing videos!
Work that was a very good trick on that fence I will always remember that I know a couple of places that I can already take care of that I think you again
Good idea !!!!!!!
Great tip, we have multiple swales and ravines here in the Sierra Nevada. I’ve used this with barbed and goat fence.
This was very helpful!
Great video, I’m the only person I know who enjoys fencing, I have found out a lot of your tricks already through trial and error, lots of errors... haha. Anyway, I have never drove the tpost in at a 45 degree angle, but I have found a lot of older tposts, and some new, have holes on the bottom at the base of the T or you can use the sheet metal plate if it’s not loose or broke off. I reuse the old tposts as stays, just like you’re using them, using the sledgehammer and drive them all but 4” into the ground. Most of the time I drive them straight And don’t have issues pulling up, but if the grounds softer like by river or creek I drive them at a slight angle to avoid them pulling up. I also thought I was the only one who tied my wire like that as well coming up from the tpost, it does look much nicer. I also have a tip, when pulling tight fence wire down to the bottom of the ditch, creek or whatever, sometimes all 260lbs of me can’t get the wire down far enough to suite me, I’m generally alone fencing, but I have found that if you use your goldenrod type fence stretcher, attach the non handle side to the wire coming off your tpost that’s drove into the ground then take the handle side and put it over the top side of that wire and just ratchet it down to the tpost stay. You don’t have to struggle holding it and takes a lot of the force off your shoulder or knees that would otherwise be holding it down. Keep up the great videos!
redstroker00 hi try and buy your self a New Zealand stretcher or wire strainer as its call there. The advantage is that you tie of on your stretcher posts both ends and cut wire wire any were in gully if required and stretch and the way it works there now loss of tension in the connection and of course this is great in re stretching a existing wire fence.
Great video! I have a spot to try this week. All of that clean row then that tree/briar bush. 😢
Excellent video,I subbed and liked
I'm learning some new tricks that are going to come in very handy on the next fencing project.
Hi there, thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. I will use this trick.
You are welcome, glad I could be of service. Happy fencing. Stay tuned.
Luke
Depending on where you live the wire will still pull up the deadman, wet season ground gets muddy. Just the same as it will push t post in the ground at the top of the hill. I allways use a big rock or have used chunks of concrete if nothing else heavy around. Gravity is very dependable. Good vids, amazing how many people think anybody can do a fence. They don't realize how much there is to learn the hard way.
Luke that's a neat trick. I've seen all kinds of braces done for wires but not one with a t post to hold your wires down. Have a good one!
Good idea using a steel post driven into the ground instead of a heavy rock which can be pulled up under pressure. Thanks.
Good idea! I’m gonna try it with high tensile electric fence and use a insulator at the t post
+storminnormanz
I’ve done that before and it works great. Just make sure it’s a good insulator obviously.
Thanks for dropping by and saying hi.
Luke
I tried this yesterday. Great tip. You forgot to mention the fun of driving in the T post.
You can also bridle a second T post to your deadman with wire, or by welding, if you would need something more substantial than the wire stay to hold it down. Easiest to dig a small hole first, so that the intersection of the posts is sub-grade. We don't use T posts, but do this often with pipe posts or even timber posts. Nice tip and video Mr. Luke!
Thank you for the great tip, I’m having a little trouble seeing what you’re talking about in my head. If you ever make a video on it please give me the link. Always like to hear other peoples tips. What common sense to you may not be common sense to me.😂
@@BacktotheBasics101 Ha! I'll have to get a more detailed video done, but it's just an upside down Y, with two post driven in the ground. Not entirely dissimilar to what you've done, but not entirely similar, either. With steel, we just weld it. With timber posts, we bridle them with a 9 gauge wire harness. I touch on it in this video, but I'm clearly less comfortable discussing the details than you. ruclips.net/video/vxi29RQ35PI/видео.html
That's darn brilliant
Well I don’t know about that, but the first time I seen it done I thought it was too. Thanks for watching appreciate you stopping by saying thanks.

Thank. For the trick I can use that
Great tips. I have a couple of low spots where I can apply this technic.
That was great
I don't have a fence or any cattle but I watched the whole thing 🤔

What you show works well with clay type soils, did some fencing in Nebraska Sandhills area, they use wood posts a lot, because the sand grips the wood better. For Deadmen (the term they used for the hold downs) they pick ugly posts and cut into about 2' logs. Middle of two posts you trench at least 2' deep (sand easy to dig!) the length of the log. Tie your about 8' long smooth wire around the middle of the log and keep it centered with a staple. Bury that log flat in the bottom, cover with sand and tamp it in good. Tie it up the same. If you want to show off your even and level "professional" fencing skills. Take a 2x4 and make a judge stick, cut to height of posts, use to set all the exact same height. Then saw a notch for each wire about a third way through and wide enough to hold each wire at desired spacing. A big nail drove in bottom can let you leverage against the ground and a post while you staple. More important with wood posts, cause you land the wire on the T- post lugs..
like the new intro!
Interesting idea, we always just put a double H brace at the bottom and break the run into two seperate sections.
I’ve seen that before as well, essentially just using the weight of the post to keep the wire down with that method.
Thanks for your input keep in touch.
Happy trails
Luke
Very informative never thought of this ,,God Bless and keep em coming
nice intro
Amen.
Did you use a post driver, a sledge hammer or both to drive those posts in on the angle? Thanks. Really appreciate your videos!!!!
Are use the post driver is far is it Ken till it hits the ground. Then I turn the post driver upside down and use the top to hammer the T post in. Sledge hammer would work better though.
You’re very welcome for the videos Wayne, and thank you for dropping by and saying thanks. It truly gives us energy and Google looks at comments and thumbs up big time.
Happy trails and may your fence is stay mended.
Luke
What keeps the wood posts from pulling out also? Are they concreted?
Reminds me of burying a deadman into the ground to hold back a retaining wall
Would it be better just to anchor the t post underground?
if wire needs retensioning/fixing you would have to untie
and avoids the nasty stake sitting out of the ground
Was that t-post drove in the ground at a angle or straight in and bent over
At an angle.
Music blasts your ears.
I’m sorry.
When you're stretching your wire on two high spots with a valley in between, how do you judge how much more wire the low area is going to require? Is there an easy way? Seems like you'd have to stretch and then go to the low spot and see if it will reach to the lowest spot or not. If not, you'd have to loosen the whole wire until it reaches. Is that right?

👍🏽
Let me know if it helps
Do you pound the lower t post in straight down and bend it or do you put it on at an angle? How do you pound a t post in so far?
Add an angle, point the T post so the top and is pointed down the ravine, the bottom should be going towards the high side of the ravine. Are use the pounder as far as you can, then turn the pound or upside down and use the back end of the pounder, make sure to use good heavy duty leather gloves. The pool should be sticking out of the ground about a foot or a foot and a half, 2 feet will work.
Hope the video helped.

Thanks
Hey brother Luke,,
I really enjoy your instruction videos. You put out some great information. I was wondering how this trick would work on sheep/goat wire fencing? I run a strain of barbed wire at the bottom and top of the fence. Any suggestions.
Be blessed.
It works the same for sheep fence as it does Barbwire.
happy fencing, and thanks for the encouragement.
Quick question. Why is the wire on the outside of the T post?
In this case I was on the opposite side of the fence working on it., It’s a fence out county, so you have to fence other people’s cattle out.
Part of your problem is five and half T posts, switch to six and a half foot T post. Set your corners and H braces, four feet in ground, line post two and a half feet in ground, same for T post.
If you put a H brace in the ground 2 1/2 feet, you will have to do it again very soon. If you would watch my video on H braces. You will see mine are in the ground or 4 feet.

Where do you buy your fencing gloves I've tried every type of glove I could find even the really expensive ones and they only last me about 2 weeks on fence line of course I fence every day almost
Stay tuned, plan on doing a video on them sometime soon.
Where do you get your twisted barbless? I’m trying to find Class 3.
I buy mine at my local farm and fleet, it’s just horse wire.
Have you heard of screw pile type fence anchors? Used one called Evertight fence anchorsfor years. Works for anchoring corner posts too.
I have not but I am curious
These are the ones I use....well, when I have time to do a proper repair. www.evertightanchors.ca/bins--fence.html
Who taught you all this? Your daddy was a rancher ? Thanks for this info. I am in the process of rebuilding 40 acres of fence in Louisiana where it's a jungle of weeds and trees growing in the fence row..
I worked with a professional fencer for sometime. He was really good and he really thought out the fence line.
I’m glad the videos are helping you Caleb. Happy trails

It helps big time if a steel post is blocked in at and angle like that next the upright steels and tied the upright well Sometimes two might be needed from opposing sides.
NOT IRAQshould be "lt" instead.
The other thing that is good in the bottom of a waterway to hold posts down is good size logs that will let water through but help hold fences down especially once the soil gets very wet.
Do you have a video of fencing the ravine? This video is very helpful but my ditch is much steeper than that and I'd like to see how you do it
It’s funny you would say that. On that same fence there was a huge ravine And my cameraman was gone my son And I was fighting a storm that was brewing.
Use the exact same method In a big ravine. Or a little dips. I am sorry I didn’t get into detail on this. Maybe an upcoming show i will. Crossing rivers creeks is the exact same thing.
Thanks and happy trails.
Luke
Dang another video I wish I had seen before putting up miles of fence
There’s a lot to fencing. This isn’t the only way to fence but it is the one that works for me.
You can get the same results by just taking a T-post and driving it extra deep into the ground . Use a loader bucket or sledge hammer to drive it extra deep ( all but 1 ft ) into the ground . It will not come out easy ! The reason the posts come out of the ground is normally from the extreme wet conditions in the spring time......when the frost is still in the ground. Water dont drain away...... By driving the post extra deep..its below the frost line.
I agree with you 100%, but I have found that sometimes the wire will come off of the post if it’s straight up and down that’s why I put it in as a angle, your way is great too though. Happy trails Luke
@@BacktotheBasics101 Sure....true...... but just take a few steal post and cut a hole at the top before ever going to the field. Just put a wire through those holds to anchor it. Thanks
I can tell that barb wire is tighter than dicks hatband. Btw. I've used that angled post to help get myself unstuck with the winch
A good anchor post is good for a lot of different things, that’s a good idea.
Keep those tips coming this channel is so that we all can learn together, I’m not too old to learn. At least I hope I’m not.

The t post should be perfectly vertical. The ‘angled’ t post will be easier to lift. Sounds contradictory, but try it.
You know straight up and down the wire has a tendency to pull off the T post. At a vertical angle it is impossible for the post to pull out of the ground or for the wire to come off of the post. Some people use actual anchors and I’m sure they were great. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. But this way sure has work good for us.
Happy fencing
Luke
Just found your channel and really like the information. BUT...your intro music is too loud and irritating..........................YIKES.
Thank you I will try to turn the volume down until I find some soundtrack that is suitable. Appreciate your input.
Thanks and happy trails.
Luke
Something you didn't explain at First,Did you concrete your wood post?If you didn't it will also pull too
You know we don’t do that here for the most part, when you use concrete around the wood post the post right off very quickly. Or so we have noticed. If you watch my video on how to build a proper brace. You will see how we do it. I’ve never had a brace post lean, I install my wood post over 4 feet into the ground. Thanks for watching Weston

I sure don't use tee post any more, and I sure never use a tee post on an angel to tie wire to, the tee posts with the ribs on them are 10.95 each, for a 7 foot I use to only buy the smooth tee post 7 feet as they use to be 5$ now they are 6.99 CND I CAN BUY 1/1/2 X 101/2" X 3/16 ANDEL IRON 24 feet long for 12$ I cut my posts out of that, I cant afford to be paying 11$ for a tee post every year as I add to my fencing, I get my cedar post for free of my land witch is a good thing as they charge 7$ for cedar post up to 4" round, 9$ up to 8" round and 15$ for 10/12" but they don't want to pay me shit to buy my posts for there stock, so I sell direct to the home farms only, same with there 20' coral panels, 260$ each, so to set up a 20x20 coral that takes 3, 20 footer x 260 then one with a door in it is 400$ it is a rip off, I build my own out of used 1-'3/4 boiler tubing, feeder panel 20 feet is 600$ cnd
i appreciate the versus but most may not know what they are about.
So true, but planting the seed sometimes falls on fertile ground and sometimes not. But it is our job to scatter the seed.
Clever, but I don’t know how safe this is. Getting sliced open by a hidden t-post isn’t fun or cheap. How would you make that sharp top safer? Wouldn’t it be better to just suck it up and use a deep set wood post there?
I believe it’s safe just because it’s in the fence line, and you will see the wire tied to it.
56 seconds of intro?? I guess each to his own.
😉You’re right, we’re pretty new to this RUclips stuff, trying to figure it all out. I think I have it down to 32 seconds now. I’d like to get it down to about 15. Thanks for your input. Hope the video helped you.
