Step 3Climb over it (without using protection)
This method is good for people who are in a rush and do not have any supplies. Because it is done without using protection the odds of getting cut and contracting fence-AIDS increase drastically.
The entire trick in getting over a barbed wire fence without protection is finding the right place to climb over it.
- The easiest place to climb over the fence would be at an uneven-height break (as shown in the video and the first two pictures). Sections of the fence like this offer the most areas for safe hand and foot holds. At an uneven-height breaks it is also much easier to maneuver your legs over the fence without getting scratched or cut.
- The next easiest place to climb over the fence is at an even-height break. An even height-break is usually accompanied by a small gap in the fence between two vertical poles. These types of breaks occur at the beginning and ending of gates, and at section or direction changes in the fence (the third photo below shows an example of an even-height break at a gate in the fence). These types of breaks are harder to get over because they require much more care in lifting yourself above the barbed wire. The even-height means that you will most likely have to rely solely on upper body strength at one point in the process. Your chance of contracting fence-AIDS is much higher.
- The hardest way to climb over a barbed wire fence (apart from just grabbing the wire between the barbs and hoisting yourself up) is at an angle bracket. Angle brackets are used to keep the strands of wire at a 45 degree angle from the fence, making it harder for people on one side of the fence to climb over. By grabbing the angle bracket in between the strands of barbs, as shown in the fourth picture below, you should be able to pull yourself over the fence without taking too much damage.
