Pretty thin. I dont know the exact gauge, but it comparable to 16lb -20lb test fishing line

I do not know the gauge of the wire but we have tested it. It does the job. Trip wire works.

USGITrip/Snare Wire 160' Vietnam Era Emergency Survival

Q: What gauge is this wire?

Its rated 24 gauge, if its Vietnam era surplus it's still good for many uses.

Q: How much wire is on each of the 4 spools?

Each spool is 40'. So 40' x 4 spools= 160'. My only complaint is that the way the wire is trapped is on these sharp pins that stick out. They could puncture a pack.
