I know I has nothing to do with your story. But I just spent the weekend removing barbed wire fencing. And I just want to say, fuck barbed wire. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put that shit up should be wrapped in it and pushed down a steep slope.
And by whoever I mean my great grandfather. But also everyone else involved. All the way to the factory making it.
I've put barbed wire up, I've taken it down. It ain't that hard. Just cut it into lengths you can easily coil by hand if you don't have a winding machine.
Personally I think woven wire fencing is a bigger pain in the ass. All that grass and weeds growing through it and then rolling it back up.
I did use a winding contraption. I don't hate it because it's annoying to remove. I hate it because it's terrible for the animals that get injured by it.
