Glad this is still up. Using it today. Fixin fences. Watching my RUclips video first.
Thanks Dwane , very instructional , so important to pay attention to those details ....it saves so much trouble and expenses later ...❤
I saw Ned at a local place here in Amarillo one time and got to talk to him for a bit. He’s a great guy
Picking up those cut ends is critical.I’ve seen young horses nearly cut their foot off getting tangled up in a 2’ pc.of wire.
If it’s on a 10,000 acre place-THEY WILL FIND IT!
You can’t hardly kill a sorry one,but the good ones always seem to be the ones getting in trouble.
When you cut the old broken splice off and you added into your comment that "You don't think it broke to due to the last guy who fixed it" brought back a quick story my good friend and former boss once told me when I was helping him fix his fence at his Dairy. I had complained about how long it was taking, then he said" In six months or even a year from now when this fence falls down, No one will ask how long it took to build it, they'll just want to know Who built it". Do you want your name to come up? lesson learned, and I didn't complain anymore. What I learned was, If you're going to do a job, do it right. have some pride in your workmanship. Dwane, you remind me of him in a lot of ways. simple logic you just can't debate. Good videos.
Here is a man who understands the marriage of information and entertainment. He is the dream of today's tv producers and programmers... and likely, the next internet millionaire... The cars/trucks/towing/rescue genre are now full... (more power to them) this is the next frontier. And, so far... he OWNS the space.
and now he's sitting at 601k one year later. One of the fastest growing channels I've ever seen lol.
Boy! That sent me back about 60+ years. As a kid my job was walking or riding the fences and mending. I preferred riding any day( no matter what I was doing) and my saddle bag could hold the tools and staples and wire. Fun to watch. Those most definitely were the GOOD ole days.! Just found your channel and enjoy it very much. Thank you!
Good advice about the fence for horses. An old timer once told me: "From the day a horse is born, he's always looking for a way to hurt himself unintentionally. We don't need to help him out."
Sir this video as well as all the others I’ve watched have been a true pleasure I appreciate how you always succeed in incorporating your life style and skills and your life lessons into this part of your programming that you have chosen to kindly share with the rest of us you’re a thoughtful and caring individual and are blessed with a ton of good old common sense I’m a tad older than you and your wisdom has. Given me much to think about and be grateful for ps my hands don’t listen to me like they use to you made me chuckle at your indecisiveness at one point 😂that happens to me more these days to keep on keeping on and Godbless you and your wife and those you hold dear
What a great way of life, mending fences in the sun (or rain) riding horses, herding cattle. Better than being bent over a computer all day.
Good job Duane.
Fencin fence that was great.
Could see more of these technicals ❤️
Fence building & repair is real work
i have no idea how i stumbled on your channel (it was a cigar video but i dont smoke them (yet)) but i love your content! glad i found you, you seem like a good guy to look up to
Much obliged my friend
I’ve spent many an hour doing cow fence engineering on my uncle’s ranch. I wouldn’t trade a minute of digging, tamping, stretching and tying for anything in this world. It was hard work, but it was worth it! I hope you enjoyed Ned LeDoux. God bless your bunch.
Thanks for that one! And I really appreciate the "one-take" style of the videos. Don't change 'em! I find it helpful to see you work through what you're getting done. And longer videos don't bother me! Thanks again Sir!
Our posts always rotted off in Klamath County, Oregon, the water was only about a foot below the dust. So we replaced a lot of posts. Our fence stretcher was rope, two pulleys with the clamps. Nice to see a clear presentation.
It sure is a lot easier on the back watching You fix it on You Tube then when I had to do it. Damn fine job Cowboy.
Done alot of fencing in my time but now i know how to do fencing. thank you
Sure is interesting seeing all the ways people come up with spelling 'Dewayne'
A short piece 3-4”of 1/2” ridged copper pipe or conduit slipped over the end of the wire gives old hands a little assistance in making those wraps tight. It’ll fit in your pocket or tool bucket without taking up too much room but worth it at the end of the day when your hands ain’t as sore as they might have been. A little leverage goes a long way. Amen.
That’s a great tip! I’ll remember that. Thanks
This video brought back a ton of memories. I don't know how many miles of fence I checked and repaired when I was younger.
Reminds me of the summers,when I was 11 or 12, I'd spend on my uncle's ranch. It was my job to ride the line. Usually took about two weeks. My horse, pack horse and rifle. Sometimes I'd camp in a line shack, and stock them if need be, sometimes on the ground. My blanket of a million stars. Didn't get much better.
Thanks Wayne
Howdy from Cooper Landing, its Sammy! My husband was telling me about this RUclips channel with a down to earth horseman. Hearing it across the room, I thought, "he sounds just like Dewayne from AK Horseman." I also thought, "sounds like this guys a christian." A little while later I saw who he was listening to and it was you! Ha ha good to see you back to cowboying! You've got 2 new subscribers here. We just got 2 yearlings, a 2 year old and an 8 year old pack horse. Not to mention we just had our 3rd child 🙌🏼. Still here in Cooper Landing, I've retired from my wrangling days to raise babies, veggies and animals. Blessings to you and your family! Tell them I said hi!!!!
Sammy! Great to hear from you! Glad to hear you and yours are doing so well. Welcome to the channel and feel free to chime in any time! You have a lot of experience and knowledge to contribute!
I saw you put a loop on both wires and thought “I’m really going to learn something new about fixing broken fence wire””. You are an honest man to show your mistake instead of deleting it.
I've doctored many horses with wire cut pasterns. With barbed wire it can get pretty messy. Whenever I fix fence for horses I usually either leave out the bottom wire (unless there's going to be calves in there sometimes) or replace it with smooth wire. But it's not my ranch so I can only do what I'm told...
Love your videos teaches you a lot I don’t know how your videos don’t blow up they are great and always help full.
LOVE Dwayne and Momma! God bless you both
Good video. Reminded me of mending fence when I was a teenager.
I had neighbor that got a horse and fenced in behind their house with a single strand of barbed wire. They came home from work soon after and found that horse standing in the biggest pool of blood, trembling. It had gotten astride the wire and walked it until it was nearly sawn into. Vet came out and put it down.
Heart breaking
Every time I get the fence stretchers out all I can think of is Dave Stamey’s “fence building blues”.
I was sitting here watching and wondering how you were going to do loop to loop. Then I got my answer. I am not the only one who looks down and says now why did I do that? Great videos Duane.
Been there, done that! Glad to know I'm not the only one!
although I haven"t ridden or worked on a ranch, I find all this stuff interesting. it is actually this kind of work (maintenance work) that has always interested me the most. thanks for sharing.
Knowing this is a video from a year ago I realize you may not see this but anyway…
I was watching you put loops on those two ends that went together I thought, what’s he doing? I figured you had a new trick I hadn’t seen or, like me, you get to talking you get distracted. 😊 I’m glad to see I’m not the only one! 😅 thanks for sharing. Oh, and being human!
Thank you good man 🤙
Your right, this video is so realistic. I was chucking, because it was like when I’m repairing fence.
Thanks a lot for the advice. Makes perfect sense to have a quick fix alternative when money AND time are an issue.
Have a good one, Wayne!
I've not got nearly the years of experience working with horses that you have though I've been around livestock, especially dairy cattle and even more so horses for 42 years off and on. This much I'll say about horses, if there's a way for them to get into trouble, they will find it. And it's the rare horse in my experience that will carefully think it's way out of a problem as opposed to one that will panic and make it worse. I once saw a horse back in my college years (1985 to 1989) panic and try to leap a steal fence gate (the ones with the trapezoidal metal pieces) and wrapped that gate around it's right leg and tore the heck out of his leg, ripping and tearing up it's skin as it leapt around. The horse healed, but it was never the same. Why the horse spooked is beyond me. I only heard it panic and jump around saw the bloody end result. I've been on and around various kinds of breeds of horses and I will say that some breeds are more the "thinking kind" than others, but still you'll find that one horse that will realize it put a foot wrong going on the trail or in the field and slowly maneuver itself out of that situation. It's a delight to watch that. It's like watching a pupil learn something you've taught them and realize they completely understood the lesson. I have a friend with an excellent endurance riding Arabian gelding. I'd trust this animal anywhere. He's a thinking horse if ever there was one.
Take your time Dwayne, you don't have to entertain us while we watch. I only use gloves when welding and hauling bales. They get ripped and snagged on everything. New here, but enjoy your videos.
This was very interesting, I enjoy all your videos so please keep them coming!
Reminds me growing up in Oregon on Farm. We had pasture, Did a lot of fence repair. Dad had one of wire pullers. Being in Military 45 years been awhile seeing it work again.
Another great video. I'm not even sure packer or cowboy but I really enjoy these. Very informative and easy for the average joe to understand
I enjoy your videos, and am learning a lot. I am curious though, why do you call your wife, mama? That's new to me. I appreciate your talking about how women are special and respecting other people. Thanks for teaching the old ways.
Good info
Good job Dwayne.
Agree with you on the woven wire on the horses.
I seen a high dollar horse get one of his legs missed up from the woven wire.
Friends had a mare with shoes on get stuck in hog wire fence. Wire between hoof and shoe. Because she was never taught to hobble, she jerked loose and left the shoe and about half of her hoof wall hanging on the fence. With a lot of doctoring and fancy shoeing we saved her and her hoof wall grew back normal after everyone said it wouldn't. Never use hog wire in a horse pasture and teach your horse to hobble for they will stand and wait to be saved most of the time. As always, enjoyed your video, even tho it was about my least favorite subject!
_"Yup I know how to do that I watched a video on RUclips"_ 😂😂
Lord Bless Deanna.i bét she's up to doing almost as much work as you and KNOWS how to. God was good to you BOTH. kat
I walked a lot of fence when I was a kid, chopping weeds with a machete to keep them from shorting the hot wires. And mended a lot of fence, too. A pair of small vise grips in the "wrapping" hand helps with leverage. Those mesquite and osage orange fence posts get hard as iron when they age. I always had a twist or two of baling wire in my pockets for quick repairs when I saw something sagging.
i love that wide open scenery
Fixing fence. My favorite activity. Just today I was working with the golden rod putting up an old fence.
The fence strecher is tricky I have participated in ranch fence work
G’day from down here in Australia! Good tips and basically what we do down here. Enjoying your videos, all the best. 👍
Where I'm at, we have corn and soybeans all the way around our pasture. I use 5 strands of that twisted barbless wire, with one hot wire at the very top. After everybody's been shocked once or twice, they won't event try to touch it. It's the only way to make our fences last, but it does cause one other problem. Once a horse knows what an electric fence is, they won't want to walk between two fence posts, even with no wire. I have a single strand of hot wire I use to rotate pasture, and when I move the herd, I will lower that hot wire all the way to the ground and lead them across it one at a time. This helps a lot once they know they can trust you that it won't hurt them.
I'm not a cowboy but I've worked on plenty of fence. You had me wondering about that second loop. 🤔 I get distracted when talking too🤣🤣🤣!
Always keep ‘em guessin’. That’s me 😁
"I watched a video on youtube" hahahaha that gave me a good laugh!
Just Right. It is what it is. I like that. Tony
I was wondering why ya put the loop in prematurely 👍🤠
Yes, the best fencing I use for cattle is five strand barb with two offset electric wire works a treat. Acceptable if horses (used to boundary) are in paddock with cattle as well because of the offset electric. Although my horse paddocks have no barb ever. Thanks Dwayne enjoying your videos.
I swear I fenced in most of Eastern Oregon in my youth. Either fixed or built.
Thanks D.
I'm sopping this up with a sponge.
Another great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Admiring your lifestyle....just ran across your videos....being watching a few when I get time...thank u for your time I've learned alot...momma must be a awesome lady for being there for u and with u. Hello to u both from West Va. Bless u and looking forward to more vids.
thank you.. i really like seeing the work being done.. 'cause I can do that now.. i might get some extra work stringing fence wire now.. awesome..
Keep up the good work. Your videos are really great and well spoken. 👍
Very interesting. Great explanation.
Fascinating, thank you.
Another interesting video. I was just surprised you werent visibly armed as you've advised. Keep up the good work. Happy trails Duane.
good video bud good to know how to fix fence!!!
Dewayne another good video and I agree with Georgia your content is always good with pointers of a satisfied mind could appreciate.. I was raised on a ranch just South of you in NE New Mexico. We might be working on a water gap that washed out with the last rain about this time of the year. Or, a wagon load of salt block and mineral were being spread around to the wind mill watering places and there ya find that stretch of fence that a bull was turning to run from another bull resulting in a blown bit of fence that didn't move out of his way. Anyway, you guys enjoy that concert this evening. Keep her safe!
Very interesting video. Love it.
Thank you for another great video!!!
You’re very welcome 😊
Good demo.
Great vdo ty
You are awesome!!
Song: I used to jump a fence, Now I jump an inch! ;)
All I can say is, been there, done that !
Great video. I'm always fixin my neighbors fence. Lol
Lolol what would we do without baking wire? These new fangled bales don't have it, how ever do people get along???😄
Sir what a mighty mustache
I was yelling at my computer "no, don't make that last loop." (I knew you couldn't hear me, but, I've done that before.
When I saw I had done that, I just shrugged internally and said “Oh, well. Just keeping it honest and real”. 😁😆
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool yep, just gotta keep on keeping on.
It's just what happens when talking while doing stuff, atleast for me.
Proverbs 24:30-34..."I passed by the field of a sluggard..."
Just more "common dog" we need more of that. First job my grandfather gave me and my cousin (12 years old) " you boys got nothing to do? go check fence.
No 4 wheelers just our horses. Bet they would have appreciated a pack horse for the wire, didn't have one.
What a part time cattlemen!
good video! damn nice hat too !
I'd gladly jump at the chance to get to a Ned Ledoux concert, I'm just east of the Mississippi river and he doesn't make it this way much.
Yep, old wire gets pretty brittle. We've got a fence that's probably around 50 years old--it's about time to replace it. Every time we try to fix it, it seems like it just breaks in a different spot a few days later, some places I've broken just by trying to make a loop in it. However, I'm not looking forward to the task of replacing the whole darn thing. LOL Recording video while you're trying to work is difficult.
One day you'll have a new fence if you keep patching it
@@garrettr4752 lol. Good point.
One guy I knew, he travelled from France to Wyoming because he wanted to « live a cow boy life ». Once he got there, despite his ridiculous accent he finally got hired in a ranch. As a cowboys first thing he did for days was fencing 😂.
Good vid Dewayne. Hope you’ll be in time for the show tonight!!
Most the cowboys I know today are from the city and never raised around ranches. 😯
@Experiment 626 There Not Cowboys!!!
If I end up with another pair of fence stretchers in my hands again things have gone horribly wrong lol. I keep them on hand or used to for chasing cows back through a hole and giving it a quick patch. Our cows or someone's else. Cows have a knack for getting out while your at church, in the middle of a holiday dinner, or zero dark thirty on a rainy snowy night. somebody ever ever skinned me my hide wouldn't be worth using for a cheap football from all the scars I got from fixing fence.
Good fence helps make good neighbors
Robert Frost - “Mending Wall”, one of my favorite poems 🙂
Good video, sometime in the future could you show people how to build a strong H brace? seems like it’s a lost art anymore. Great content 👍
Love horses and the outdoors
Have worked with a fencing crew in nz ! Great video
When can I start 🙂
Fence puller, fence pliers, go to it......
My hands have deserted me.so weak.kat
Maybe I’m crazy but I’ve always enjoyed fence work. I’d prefer to not have to do a bunch of it but it’s a good feeling. I guess a little goes a long way
Hope she enjoyed the music...
Homesick and Happier for it.
Thx
Gloves ? Get your self a ball, rubber or old tennis ball something. Don't sit and make it a choir but work it in each hand it helps.
I only fix fence as an independent contractor, I only work with my tools & equipment, and if they don't like splice tubes by Splice it. ...I'm Gone!⚔🤠👍🔥🇺🇸 The genuine USA made splice it tubes and Crimping tool is the best for old wire ya gotta check it out. 👍
As much as I like Dwayne's videos, I ain't watching this one. Don't need the info (or the practice) on fixing fence.
I'm gonna crack a beer, click to another Dry Creek video and settle back in my recliner.....
Still gave it a thumbs up tho.......lol
😂
