When out Orienteering, there are some city parks that used to be farms. there are always trees around with old barb wire embedded in the bark. Some of those trees were probably saplings on the property corner in the 1930's....now they are 50 feet tall and a trunk of a foot or more....with barb wire embedded in it

there's a tree on my place with a grease gun grown into it. been there all my life [i'm 53]. its an old crepe tree. i'll snag a pic when i'm home...
The nails are also why they keep metal detectors handy when logging. You don't want to run a nail into your saw/axe/mill/chainsaw.
In established camps I always look around for the requisite nail some jerk has left for me to hang my poles on. It doesn't take long to find and since I can't remove it, I mine as well use it. All the while I'm trying to imagine hauling a bunch of nails and a hammer with me. Or worse, ruining the poll of an axe by using it to hammer nails.
I'm thinking that the tree grows around the left behind tree straps if left pulled down tight...... Maybe time will tell.
I would like to have a $1.00 for every chainsaw chain that went south after hitting buried barbed wire that was so deep you couldn't tell..
Found this in the back corner of the yard @ a house my son was renting. About 10 feet up off the ground.

Always preached against nailing barbed wire to trees.In the process of taking miles of it down (winter work).Friend dropped off a tree he cut down in his yard.While splitting it I discovered a 20p nail he luckily missed.
