Well, after spending Wed-Fri at the farm up in Tennessee, the yard & fields are finally clear.....couldn't even get into the house drive when we got there & had to go through the entrance to the barn....got one huge pile of downed limbs, trees, etc. & my arms look like I was attaked by barbed wire which I was, repairing fences.

Every muscle in my body aches!
 
Ooof. I helped a guy clear a line of about 100 yards thru Florida scrub and overgrowth to plant posts and string a four-strand barbed wire cattle fence last year. As dense as any "jungle" I'd been in. We could be working a few feet away from one-another and not be able to see each other.... and we missed the "line" by a couple feet and had to re-hack to correct. THEN dig a hole and plant a post every 10'. Stringin' the wire was a day's work in itself. I thought I'd been in a 6 hour bar fight by week's end.
 
Tony it hurts just reading about it. During the 70's and 80's Shirley and I had a 300 acre farm. Just around the perimeter and along the road through it there was about 7 miles of 5 wire fence for cattle and horses. Add to that more than 120 acres of woods so I know what you are doing.

Be safe in your work!
