Don't you hate......

[madtuna]

..... running over a bit of fence wire and it wraps around your diff and brake calipers :N:

 

[Dihusky]

Dumped #8 has got me out of a few situations over the years, but barb..... ouch...

 

[Mungass]

Yup right up there with gettin the ol fella caught in the zipper of ya levis ....

 

[Manpa]

Very event filled trips, bogged and then wired, what next?

 

[BigWave]

Yup madtuna is just like that - if something nothing of us city slickers could have happen to us, it seems that it only happens to him

 

[RM Outback]

:N: that sucks big time don't tell us that happened where the new fence is going in. That'd be a double whammy having destroyed the new wire as well.

 

[aussiefarmer]

Ahhhh wire grass

Nah mate.... this was off an old fence destroyed by camels. They have absolutely no respect for fences and will drag it for miles.

This was up an old dry creek bed I was traversing.

 

[Flowerpot]

Perentie needs a shave!!

Gotta be tough hanging about with you madtuna. :lol:

That would've taken ages to sort out, geez very scratchy.

 

[madtuna]

Took about an hour, jacked it up and took the wheel off then slowly bit by bit cut it off. My arms are a mess!

 

[Rockhunter62]

Now where did that camel get to?

Cheers

[Outback]

Had similar happen on the motor bikes , my anger was palpable every time !

 

[diggit]

I wrapped a lot of that stuff around my calf muscle when I was running through long grass as a kid! I feel your pain, dreadful stuff.....should be outlawed!

No puncture though, so thats good!

How could you not see that..

 

[madtuna]

How could you not see that..

Because it was hidden in the spinifex plus I was focused on some camels at the time

 

[Simmo]

A BIT of fence wire.....
I hope I'm not here when you hit A LOT of fence wire...

Are you sure it wasn't that 5 oz sunbaker to your right hand side that distracted you?

 

[madtuna]

I wish! But nah it was camels. Buggers were out in force today, lost count up around 30

 

[user 7268]

Ya had the right idea ....................... just didn't follow the instructions on how to fit them correctly :Y:

 

[Tathradj]

It would have to be Warratah wire.
Nothing is as tough as that.
May have mentioned it before.
Few years back crazy cousin had an idea.
Lets strain this 200 meter fence of Barbed with the tractor.
Yep, It let go from the other end and you could hear it coming.
He got off the tractor just in time.
Took him the best part of a day to clean the mess up. :lol:
And we left him too it. ]

Ahhhh wire grass
