A hide from a freshly killed animal will have not just hair, but flesh and fat to remove. Traditionally, they are soaked in water, changing the water every day, until the hair is loose enough to pull out fairly easily. Then the hide is scraped clean of hair, flesh, and fat with something like a putty knife; it can be used immediately, or dried and then soaked later for re-use.
A quicker, less smelly way to prepare a hide is to soak it in quick lime and water, clean it, soak it in baking soda and cream of tartar and water, rinse it, and proceed as above. If the flesh and fat will not come off easily, they may be carefully cut away with a sharp knife or scissors. Best of luck!
I know it takes forever, but if you upload the uncompressed versions, you will not get that horrible tinny digital sound and inferior video.
Your frame drums and music is so incredible to have it lessened by that is a shame. But regardless, thank you for the amazing sights and sounds.
You are a Spirit Warrior for sure!!
