      Although americanized polish folk aren’t quite as resilient in my personal opinion , the polish born that came to the US are one tough bunch . Across the board even the women will work their tail off. Less and less are coming here because Europe offers more opportunities than they did in the 90s and early 2000s . I came here in 2000 (USA) mom and dad both grinded for better lives . This is why polish folk get along with Latino folk , both work ethics are unmatched

    I'm a Scot living and working in Australia. We tend to use a wired diagonal brace, from the strainer to the first post with timber or more common now, gal pipe. And our strainers you can't lift by hand, our hardwood is so heavy. I pilot drill the strainer 700, then set it with thumper. Nice tight fence though. Concrete posts are becoming popular here, as timber become rarer. Stars like these can be leaned on by cattle.

      Yes. We are very spoilt in NZ with what is available. Some are just clever like the batten square and batten spacer by Strainrite. The post rammer set-ups you see are just amazing and the terrain they work on is frightening. I was selling some ewes this year (have a lifestyle property near Auckland) and one of the buyers worked for a contract fencer and he was critiquing my fencing and battening efforts. Curiosity made me ask how many battens he could put on in a day on an 8 wire fence. He said his best day was 1000. I was even more gobsmacked when I asked if that was with two people and he replied saying that was doing it all by himself.

      I agree as well. I bought the blue air driver last year, (comes out of Australia) and I also bought the fenceline strainers from down under. So much better than the golden rod. I've also switched to hi-tensile wire and I love it. My ranch has over 30 miles of fence and as I replace the old barbed wire, I'm putting up smooth hi-tensile. No more barbed on this place. There is a guy in Texas that sells the blue driver.

      @@westonandelin4556 It is funny to read that you are switching to high tensile wire as that is just standard here in NZ and has been for decades. It's even available in a Double Life version that is made especially for coastal areas but everyone uses it. A little more but bugger all. You don't really see anyone using barb wire anymore. I think there may even be rules now regarding its use for animal safety reasons.

      Scotch Whisky Association director of strategy Graeme Littlejohn said: “The 10.1% duty increase is a hammer blow for distillers and consumers.
      “At a time when inflation has only just started to creep downwards, this tax increase will continue to fuel inflation and make it more difficult for the Scotch Whisky industry to invest in growth and job creation in Scotland and across the UK supply chain.
      “Rather than choosing to back an industry which the UK government promised to support through the tax system, the Government has chosen to impose the largest duty increase in almost half a century, increasing the cost of every bottle of Scotch Whisky sold in the UK by almost a pound and taking the tax burden on the average priced bottle to 75%.@@AlanDevine257

    A note on the Scottish countryside and clever gate design: you are allowed to walk/hike anywhere in the countryside (yes even through farmers fields, provided you are respectful and don’t disturb livestock) through the Right to Roam Act. One interesting thing you’ll notice is the many gates and fences that you’ll pass through. I’ve never seen so many clever gate designs made out of some many different materials. Some as simple as a heavy rock that you need to pick up and move, others resembling a multiple-step mouse trap. I feel like anyone watching videos about different ways to build fences would really get a kick out of that 😂

    Irn-Bru's Adrian Troy, marketing director at AG Barr, said: “Throughout history there has been one thing that we can’t seem to agree on - what does Irn-Bru taste like?” One thing we do know for sure - we all agree it tastes phenomenal.”

    Curious what size bit they are using on the drill?
    Occasionally here we drill a full 40mm hole when trying to put posts in rock (same as our steel post size)
    Never attempted a smaller hole before

    I leave my fencing until later in the year, too many haggis around in the spring. Guys brave wearing shorts like.

    Man, I miss fencing..did my farm, and then my lifestyle block by hand due to the terrain, and then my sons land, and then my partners land....its hard work, but its satisfying when its all straight, tight and finished.. off to Australia to do more by hand, no tractor

    I’m in shorts 365 hate summer. Omaha Nebraska had cold recently I walk 2 miles every day to keep 73 year old legs in shape to bowhunt whitetails. takes an hour had a gentleman roll up asking did I want ride. Actual was minus 5 or 10 WC -40. I declined really love the adrenaline rush and solitude. He says you can get frostbite after 10 minutes. I had been out for about 45 and was toasty. Saw him at nearby church couple days later same guy same car. German Irish have always been last cold but (curse) first hot. Those are some serious fence posts

    Having traveled all over the world I can tell you there are many better ways of doing things out there. Not saying our ways are bad but I'm a believer in doing things the best way which isn't always the America way just my opinion. This was FUN to watch Thank you.

    Thanks for another great video of working outside and enjoying what you do ... this time, from a Scottish perspective. As I enjoy my 7-Up and PediaLite cocktail, I wonder about Mark's "Ensure" comment ... from the same Mark who admitted he was still huffing and puffing 45 minutes after a little jog. Hmmm. Sounds like Grampy-Mark to me.

    Wow .. my area where I live used to have names like cedar ridge ..cedar grove .. but they chopped them all down in the 1800s for fence posts .. you have to search the woods to find a cedar tree and may just find a stump
