Thank you for keeping this and other self-reliance skills alive and well. You are very detailed with your descriptions without being so academic.
This is the start of a great series. I also find I need to review tanning videos every year.
Dave on the expressway to 1M subscribers. Because he teaches real skills. In my opinion.
Madness that this is a free video. Thanks Dave! Learned so much this video.
Thank you so much for the years of great information and instruction. I have been a fan since 2009 at Dirt Time. Many thanks.
Thanks Dave, Best information out there.. You are one outstanding instructor, As always Take Care and Stay Safe.
Just wanted say I watch you all the time to help teach my 12 year old son you taught the both of how to thrive rather then survive our outdoor adventures have definitely gotten more comfortable but also safer in so many ways my son and I hope to one day meet you
I don’t hunt and don’t plan on tanning anything but I like learning about it.
It’s cool to be familiar with this stuff and a lot of outdoor skills are being lost.
The rubber for your apron is called EPDM and it is an amazing material to work with. Especially if you combine it with the ZIP tape for siding. You could make a pool with those 2 things.
Thanks, Dave! The skunk fur has been shedding a lot and I’ve been worried the fur is slipping. TH-cam has so many ideas on setting the hair that I wasn’t sure which direction to go. Time to grab a bucket and get to pickling!
I watched your beaver tanning video last year and tanned a deer hide with its brain right after and smoked it. The hair stayed on fine without pickling it.
I'm so excited for this series! Thanks brother! ❤
I would use a small paddle to move the hide around and a rock to hold hides down in the solution. We would use the brain and kidneys when I was a kid, that was how an old trapper showed us.
Howdy, Brother! That's how we do! Drive-On, Cowboy!! 🤠
Perfect timing! Hope you mention birds too, retaining feathers for decoration.
I love these videos. I know I'll never do any of it. Shoot. Camping is even unlikely. But I love the dream of it
Learn everything you can. Knowledge is something the Government hasn’t figured how to tax…yet. Great job sir!!
Thank you so much for making this video.
Very glad to see you do this, especially for fur on tanning. I’ve done some brain tanning with mixed results, mostly good, but it certainly is a chore.
Good stuff. I use an old clothes dryer to tumble mine & a mechanical defleshing machine these days but your methods are pretty much the same as my father taught me as a youngun.
Great information, thanks Dave! I recently started hunting and wanted to tan my own hides and pelts. I want to use as much of the animal as I can, most of the time. So this was just what I was looking for.
When it comes to breaking, I've found that rubbing the hide on concrete is the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to break and thin a tanned hide. Its the most abrasive surface there is pretty much, and it works wonders especially on the edges of hides where they get thick and hard.
Thanks Dave
Great lesson. Please keep them coming.
Wow. Excellent information. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing you knowledge that way we can learn the old was the good ways
Awesome idea, especially doing the brain tanning at home. I appreciate your videos. Thank you
Brilliant 👏
Great instructions! Thanks!
Thanks Dave I currently have 4 deer skins on salt till spring.... Plans are 2 hair on 2 hair off. This will be helpful come spring
Great video, thanks for your hard work and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one.
Really fascinating video Dave, looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you for sharing very carefully. I also learned a new skill.
Great information as always. I appreciate you.
That's for taking time for making this video
Love this!
Meat preservation would be a good series.
Thank you for this video Dave! Cant wait to take a class with you one day!
Good Job, Dave
Thanks..
Thanks so much for this series
Thanks man! I was just talking to my buddy about this !
Good information Dave
Lecithin is an emulsifying agent, not an oil. The fats in the brains get emulsified to better penetrate the hide. Soy and Sunflower lecithin can be had and most health stores and will last you years. My preferred oil is coconut. I use 2 to 1 ratio, lecithin to oil, and get great results.
Noted
I have a question. I have a dry deer hide that is not fleshed. It’s been hanging in my woodshed for a couple of years. Is it possible to reconstitute it and tan it with the hair on?
Can a person skip the stretching stage? I just fleshed, pickled and degreased a wolf hide and want to jump straight into braining it. You are such a wealth of info!!! Thank you for sharing. I did a bison once but stopped after fleshing and stretching and took it to a pro haha.
Can you touch a bit on using egg yolk for tanning. I've done it a bit and works well. Almost everyone has eggs.
Did you even watch the video? I only mentioned that about 4 times? Thank you thought
fun fact ::when parents of the past said " I'll tan your hide" they did not mean like this. 😂😂

On a serious note , this is extremely useful if you are even considering going into the woods or if you want superior winter garments . Fur in buck/moose/elk/ caribou and bear skins when used properly ( usually the old viking design with shoulder frock is best) it retains as much or more body heat as a high end set of modern winter gear. More people should know these sorts of skills IMHO . Society in general would be better if we retained these and many other old skills and consciously integrated them with modern concepts instead of leaving them as relics of the past. There is a damn good reason we always go back to the old ways. Be it purposely or " accidentally" ... Often it is as " new" discoveries which is just rediscovered tech. As the saying goes " everything old is new again ".
Nice❤
Could you reuse the pickling solution a few times or would it be better to change it after every batch of skins?
Fur might not be selling for much but brain tan deer is expensive. I don't see hunting, trapping etc. lasting much longer after us old guys die off. The majority of the young Americans are braindead, brainwashed robots who see hunting, trapping, fishing as brutal, primitive and even consider it cruelty to animals.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time. I appreciate it.
Can you skip the drying/stretching and go straight from fleshing to pickling?
Dave, could I get more information on the borax on the deer feet. I have some from a deer we just harvested and would like to make a gunrack with them. Thanks!
Question, if I were interested in making something like a deer hide blanket or rug, would it be better to leave hair on or remove? Would it be possible to get a video on how to do that and which critter would be best to use?
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what do you do with coyotes or fox other than tanning the fur? Do you have other uses for them like food? I have seen where some people eat them but was curious as to what your preferences are for these particular animals. Thank you for your time and I really enjoy your content. Heck of an education! 👍🏻
What can these furs be used for? I wonder since a lot of them are small - thanks
I use a rolling pin anchored to a board to break it and loosen it up lol
Hey Dave
😂😂 there not eaten any groceries 😂😂😂 great video brother🔥🔥🔥
For the algorithm
I want to take a few of your classes hiw much are they and were do I go. I live I'm western kentucky and have several acres maybe you can come and show me how to live off the land in my own back yard?
Is there a pickling solution to use that DOESN'T use bleach? I know its not a whole lot used in this mixture but i happen to be severely allergic to bleach and really dont want to risk it even with PPE
What can you do with a hide? Can I make a fur backpack?
I've done a fair amount of tanning here and there. I don't think you're going to do a garment quality tan at home.
The value of trapping and tanning hides isn't in the money, it's in the food and clothing value for us prepper survivalist types. Learn it.
I don't think a possum has enough brains to tan their own hide
This video haven't the french translation. It's a very big problem for me to see it. I don't understand, so I don't see it. Sorry
