Burrs and wool?

kennym · October 22, 2016, 11:37:00 AM

How's the best way to get em out, short of sitting and picking one at a time?

I found they come out easier if you freeze them. Maybe a dog hair brush would help.

Thanks, anything has to help with the dang things!!

Burrz-off (sp?) It's a type of stone, works great. Also a tick comb works well.

Buy good wool with a tight knit. Fewer burrs stick to it and they come off with the metal dog comb.

I find my KOM ,doesn't collect too many of them and they come out pretty easily.

Wool and cockleburs were made for each other. i should change my handle to Johnny Cockleseed, there is a huge patch that i think I am responsible. It is where I pulled cockle burs off when I got to my favorite valley. It pulls off of whipcord better, but burs will stick to anything. Now those nasty tiny tick sized buggers that come off on a single thread sized stem. They have pretty little flowers in the summer that turn into little devils in the fall. I have given them many names, I am sure none of those names are the correct ones.

Maybe Tick clover/Tick trefoil Pavan?

Hate all those things! They do occupy my first 30-45 minutes of light in the stand though.

Get a dog or cat ( i prefer the cat, its smaller with smaller teeth) curry comb, that thing that looks like a hacksaw blade bent in a near circle. I use that all the time.

I just walk around them and problem solved

if it was only that easy! I usually just end up picking them off one by one.

Got the wire dog brush and a table knife, now to get it done before it gets cold....

I try to walk around them but never succeed at it.LOL

I wear gaiters to help below the knee. Then use a barbers comb (the small teeth to get the rest). and it works good.

Kenny, Darrell said he just left his in from last year so he don't have to pick them out again. Maybe he has something there. Don't know.

kennym · October 23, 2016, 09:42:00 PM

LOL, tell him we will find him with his pants legs stuck together and will have to haul him somewhere to get surgically worked on so he can walk again...

The Burrs-off stone works really well and lasts forever.

Bigriver · October 24, 2016, 07:44:00 PM

Another burrs off fan. I have had one for years, they work great and are cheap... like me!

Will the Burrs off work well on Berber clothing?

Anyone? Thanks

Not sure if it's a good Dad thing to do but I'm still holding out for my 7 year old son to get in trouble good enough to make picking those things out his punishment.
