@sargefaria I wanted to use this material to make a response for your cordage challenge but didn't really harvest the materials from the wild I just processed them. One day we'll do this from start to finish!
@hobbexp From some animals like small deer they might be 1.5" by 6" but on a larger animal like beef or moose it might be 3" by 18" and your local butcher shop probably throws away several of them every day ;-)
sinews are incredible to use as cordage, i dont even bother with using plant fibers for anything anymore, theyre indestructible and last forever if you take care of them, reminds me alot of the saying my grtandpa would always say, if you have nice things, take care of them and you will always have nice things. I cant stand how our society has resorted to throwing things away!
@boomer00000 I hear ya Boomer, poeple are way too quick to throw stuff away or pay somebody else to deal with it. BTW- it's to bad you don't live closer or I would have tried to hire you on, I almost got overloaded with beef this season and cuttters are few and far between where I live!
@swibo6 ya cutting has become quite a lost art. But its something where once you learn it, it will stay with you forever. Investment in yourself will never be lost. Thats why i do bushcraft.
Iv have learned quite a bit breaking down primal cuts for restaurants but I havent had a chance to do it from the start of a whole animal yet, good tips
@beast12101 I believe you Beast, I had a chef friend of mine come help cut recently and he had more confidance and familiarity with the primal cuts than a local grocery store meat cutter that I hired on.
I went to "butcher school" with a trained chef from Ireland, I had a hard time beating him at the cutting table or the pub table but I'm sure glad I had him there for the challenge!
Thanks Buddy. Maybe next time you get a moose or have ability to show us what it looks like on the animal that would be helpfu. I know what tendons / ligaments look and feel like, but I'm sure most youtubers don't understand what it is. BTW - was it you that was fending off that coyote on another channel in BC? It sounds a lot like you.
@14DFASniper One day I will make a start to finish video about dealing with a big game animal and using as much of it as you can... in a perfect world I'd like to do the video in a wilderness camp setting!
And about the other video with the coyote- nope, it wasn't me. I have plenty of experience with coyotes and I've never lost any sleep in a lean to because I was worried about them. I have lost some sleep because of other animals though lol!
what is the book you use in this video thanks
