Tanning Deer Hides Start to Finish! How Easy is This? | TUTORIAL | INDIGENOUS SKILLS | DIY

Fantastic tutorial! Well done and thank you!

I always thought you HAD to stretch the hides. This video is excellent

You guys might like a kid oriented channel for yer' youngster, its called "Autumns Armory", I watch it from time to time and I don't even have kids.

What would you use to dye the skins, woodland camouflage

Really interesting

Is a raw hide, like a shami that you use to dry a car after washing before waxing?

What if you wanted to keep the fur on the hide?

Could you please explain how to tan a deer hide with an egg solution

What will happen to it when it gets wet?? When I got my hide wet it absorbs all the water and feels like raw hide again, then it dries sorta hard. It’s definitely tanned I just don’t know what’s wrong. When it drys it is really easy to stretch and make soft again.

I tan several deer hides every every winter here in Missouri. You could say I have developed some of my own techniques to arrive at some very nice results. This was a great tutorial, and the information was spot on. So, my question: would North American buffalo have been available in 18th century Ontario?

Just found your channel, what a gem!

Such wonderful guests and a charming young man!

May want to say Neutral pH as a Zero pH is the most acidic level you can reach.. Overall info has been great!

How can you go about doing this but leaving the fur intact?

Thank you for the video. You take pH UP to make it alkaline. Rinsing in clean water doesn’t take it to “zero” pH, it be good to to a “neutral”pH or 7

how long can you wait before smoking it without it stiffing back up?

No ego...how refreshing 💛

Hello, I'm sorry if this will be a repeat question... I did go through many of the comments, but didn't see it... If keeping the hair on, do you scrape until you start to see the root of the hair? My understanding is that's too much, but I've heard mixed opinions lately. Thank you.

If you do brain tanning do you still have to rinse the hide out several times like when you used the river?

I've watched this video several times. I've got to say that you cover everything in great detail , but I ground my draw knife like you said with a square edge and used it on the hide I'm doing and now I think you're full of.......


Knowledge and great advise. I'm thanking everyone who's helped me and wanted to mention a young man who , like you guys produces great content. He primariy a traditional bow maker but does bushcraft and hunting videos. He's also kind of famous for winning season 8 of Alone. I haven't watched it all but started following him before that. His name is Clay Hayes. You're probably already aware of him but if not check out his channel. He's got some really good work out there.

How do I keep the hair on the hide?

Not a 0 pH you mean neutral pH which is about a 7. Just google pH scale. a zero pH is extremely acidic. A pH scale goes from 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14, with 7 being the middle of the scale or neutral 14 is corrosive, 0 is acidic.

What did you say , 'spoke edge' from the flea market tool??

Tutorial if tanning with hair on???

What is an "old spoke shave"?

I have watched 100's of primitive teaching videos.. with that said, I've never been more attentive to a video and the guidance given. You are a wealth of knowledge and an exceptional teach and human. I would love to learn hands on by you. Thank you so much for this content.

So this is the REAL meaning of " tan yer hide "
😅

How would tan it with egg? I want to buy as little as possible supplies.

How did we ever forget to do these types of necessary trades. What, industrialism going to save the day? God forbid.

I love watching tanning hides What I give to have a buffalo hide !!! Thanks

Great video ! I'm a bit confused on the tanning solution part. Your mixing the oil, lime, and soap into water ? Is it just enough water to cover the hide ?

Watching was joyous.

If I don't want to remove the hair, do I just skip the lime bath and scraping and leave the rest as described? Or are the later steps different when I keep the fur?

Hydrated Lime is not the same thing as Agricultural Lime. Hydrated is used in construction, also use for preserving fresh eggs.

What kind of green sweater are you wearing, good Sir? Where can I find one? Thx.
