Why, oh why, would I want to know how to make these things?

“carry them around in a pouch at a renaissance festival”
What? Why would a guy pretending to be a lusty wench, knight, serf or friar carry around things designed to flat tires, or where a lot of bare-footy ‘free spirits’ are walking around.

Around here we call that Turkey Wire. Chicken Wire has thinner wire and a hexagonal pattern. I really doubt that either would be effective since they are easily bendable.

Solid wire spines tend to seal the puncture. Hollow spines allow much more rapid tire deflation.

nice. much easier than cutting and welding nails.

My sister used to have a rural property in WA state and in the middle of her drive was a tree she called the Mean Tree. It was a Black Hawthorn or Western Thornapple. (Crataegus douglasii) The thorns from broken branches would flat the tires on her tractor let alone a car tire. The books say the thorns are from 1-3 cms but the ones I saw myself were longer than that.

It don’t look like chicken wire, it looks like welded mesh like heavy fencing wire. Good for bare feet or thin soled shoes.
I believe a hollow core wire would be better for tires.

I know from having kids that Legos can be almost as effective, especially in the middle of the night when you can’t see them.

We used to call those things jax. Something about stepping barefooted on one that caused us to be good about picking every one up after playing with them. Even counting them to make sure we got every one.
