great video, im hoping to do this with squirrel fur and souble stich it so there is fur on the inside and outside, with an insulative air gap between.
Ever seen a coon up close? All cute and fuzzy right? My ex works animal control and I've seen them unable to stand and suffering from seizures due to disease. Ears chuck full of ticks. Death is a blessing. Ever lost an animal to a coyote? calf, colt, chickens...the farm money makers? I see wearing the furs of these animals, humanely killed, as honoring them. Similarly, sheep/cows/buffalo/etc. killed for meat...throw away the hide? Criminal.
I have a tannery running in my polebarn and it is a process requiring in-person, hands-on training not done justice by video on YouTube. Kind of like showing someone a picture of the Grand Canyon vs standing on the edge of the canyon at sunset....
Real fur that came from the wild, not from a cage raised for the sole purpose of stealing it's hide. Hunted fairly and squarely. Rather they become overpopulated and rotting on the side of the road?
i can tell you what the fur would look good on. the animal it came from. we're not cave dwellers, we've figured out how make clothing to keep us warm and covered. The human existence has come to a real low where we have unnecessarily slaughter beautiful creatures. i pray all of you step on a bear trap and your flesh slowly picked away buy something you thin would make a good collar or jacket. Fucking disgusting
@floppynoots I tend to disagree, if you read your post you will see that one cave dweller does in fact exist, well done and thank you for proving your own point. Enjoy your next big mac and those nice new leather sneakers, but that's ok right because cows are ugly right??? people on the innerweb crack me up.
@lshobie 1st off i'm vegan and i take whatever means i can to avoid buying a product that contains animal by products. Yes there are primitive cultures that rely on animals, but i can say with most certainty that you do not rely on animals to survive. You probably consider yourself a "hunter" who sits in a stand all day like a tool bag hoping something walks by so you can shoot it yards away and think have have some type of skill.
@floppynoots how about you try stalking your prey and killing it with a less advanced weapon, but that's not hunting right. And now cows are not ugly, they're ruminants with a remarkable digestive system and they're alive and fascinating like any other creature that i can say i value
@floppynoots Congrats on being Vegan, I couldn't if I tried as I need a bit of red meat now and then, and I need heaps of chicken for the protein when I work out, supplemented with protein powders of course. We buy grain fed free range chickens to support local farmers and we just don't want to feed our kids the meat full of chemicals. It takes a lot of determination to become vegan and I can appreciate that. Hunting is a cultural thing for me and will be for my children as well.
@lshobie If they don't want to pursue it I won't force it. Eating meat and hunting are natural, I do not need to do it but I do know people who need to, many of them as I am from a small town, not the city. we respect the animals, we don't waste any meat and we follow the law. I never try to judge or insult ones practices, I try to understand and learn from them, and in some cases I jump on board. You may not agree with what I do and how I do it.
@lshobie Wishing pain on someone is over the top, you should check your emotions at the door and even though this is a faceless medium we use to communicate we still need to be civil and act as one would treat a neighbour. Have a great day, I'm going to have an avocado shake for breakfast. Oh and check out my coconut video - being Vegan you might enjoy it.
@floppynoots If you actually hunted you would see that trying to chase down an animal to kill it doesn't work as well as sitting in a tree stand and being patient. I do think it is dumb how we slaughter cows and chickens by the millions but that's not my fault. I always eat the animals I kill. Usually deer, squirrel or fish. I hunt because it's a huge part of me and I think its natural. I kill animals quickly. And I don't know why you are acting like people skin animals alive
@TheOHHHHHYA since i can guarantee you will not be able to watch the entire film just watch the trailer for "earthlings" on youtube if you don't think people are skinning animals alive. as for natural predator/prey kills, i enjoy it very much but mainly cause it's natural hunting and it's key to survival. trapping beaver, i must say what an amazing accomplishment. you are not a hunter, primitive tribal cultures have true hunters and most eskimo cultures
@floppynoots Alright first of all I never said I was an amazing hunter because I trapped beaver. Trapping beaver is the easiest thing I have ever done. I just wanted you too know I use the fur from animals I have taken and do not support fur companies like you are describing. I agree its messed up how companies may do that.. but do you honestly think hunters are the ones skinning animals alive? hell no. we kill them skin them and eat them. And you don't know me
@floppynoots You think I'm not a hunter but you really have never seen me. Every summer I go up north to lake vermillion. Its in minnesota. I love being in the woods and I stay on my buddies land. Every year I have made a bow and a spear. And believe it or not i kill grouse and squirrel. Also I fish. And that's what I eat. by the way i'm 19 and If I had it my way I would make everyone live like that. You should be happy I'm a hunter and not some fat kid playing video games
@floppynoots I know for a fact we have way more than we need and it's bull shit. And yes I do enjoy the things i have but I can honestly say I would leave it behind for a different life. At the same time I have a fiance and family, and im not going to just go live in the woods alone. So whatever you wanna think man I don't care because I know i'm a hunter and if you put me and you in the woods you are going to die before I do.
@floppynoots I'm guessing you have adapted to a life style in which you have no survival skills what so ever. Just a stuck up person who thinks we don't need to kill animals anymore. Well that's you. I will kill animals to eat I'm not gonna stop and change into some city kid expecting everything. also I would love to learn hunting techniques from tribes man.
@floppynoots If you wanna talk about suffering... Watch a pack of wolfs take down a deer or moose. Watch a pride of lions take a hippo. Whatever predator it is..they literally eat there prey alive. the prey doesn't just die when the predator puts its teeth into it. They eat it slowly and trust me the animal lives until it has no blood or until enough of it is eaten. also I trap beaver and I have made a really nice hat. now I will make mittens. I'm a HUNTER. not some stupid red neck.
@TheOHHHHHYA as i've stated once before i have no problem watching nature in it's purest. as for my survival skills, well i did my 4 years in the corps, and survival training is part of basic training, and i still got a pretty good sense of many of the methods plus i have my waterproof copy of the survival hand book in my go bag. and i can say with confidence that i have a better shot than you and that at 19 i was in situations that would have you sitting with your head tucked
@WonGoodWoman yes, 4. that's the contracted i signed and i'm glad it was only that because too many of us are dying for a not so noble cause. see by beauty i mean how it was naturally designed. while it may be hard for you to wrap your mind around it, the human as an animal is not anatomically nor physiologically designed to be a carnivore or really even omnivore much less a predator. true predators have large mouth openings, long sharp canines, and the immense bite pressures
@WonGoodWoman / are created by the temporalis muscle in the face not from the masseter and pterygoids muscles that are the major jaw muscles of humans and herbivores. a carnivore/omnivore type animal have no carbohydrate digestive enzyme in their saliva due to the fact a predators primary source of energy comes from fats and not carbohydrates.
@WonGoodWoman a carnivore/omnivore stomach makes up 60% - 70% of the total volume of the digestive tract, herbivores less 30%, humans 21% - 27% carnivore/omnivore small intestine length 3-6 times the body length. herbivore/human 10 -12 times. carnivore/omnivore have sharp claws. herbivores/humans have flattened nails or blunt hooves.
@WonGoodWoman so you can continue to have the dellusion that you're a predator, but put you and a predator on the disection table and you'll display not too many similarities
Okey dokey floppy, I am an educated sucky human and you need not try to impress me with your use of your masseter and pterygoid muscle (in the Corps, commonly referred to as your suck). Lemme know how living wild goes.
Me, I am happily living my WILD critter hunting, meat eating, fur wearing delusional life. Despite these flaws, I've yet to torture an animal or promote such and the thought hasn't crossed my mind yet to go on a killing spree of my fellow man.
@floppynoots how can you say you shoot better than me? you have no idea how i shoot you have never seen me, i shoot everyday but now that im in college its not as much. also you have no idea how i would react and if i was in the corps with you right next to you when whatever happened... id be acting the same as everyone else. i wanted to join the corps also.you sound so stupid telling me how i would react. you have no idea how i would react your acting like you know me and you dont.
@floppynoots i didnt join the corps though because other things happened but trust me i still want to but in no way am i saying im awesome for wanting to join or something. i'm just saying its so stupid how you think you know how i would react. you have never seen me in your life. and thats awesome that you joined but you are just acting ridiculous your way over dramatic. your just searching for something by talking about shooting and war, trying to beat me in some way. chill out.
I will agree with you ONLY when it comes to ranch raised/cage kept critters. Native American's weren't cave dwellers either, and they honored their kills by using every single part of the animal they could. Sure, we figured out how to make clothing...in a factory that pumps out environmental waste that is conveniently pumped away from PEOPLE and makes it way to who? Ahh, yes, places where those beautiful creatures roam. What damage has going NON-Native done dear Floppy?
@WonGoodWoman i will give the benefit of the doubt that there are seldom hunters who hunt for the right reasons. As for the rest, they have polluted the tradition with my favorite term, sport hunting and all the other garbage associated. and the problem is it's accepted and considered normal and the children are molded into this sociopathic way of thinking. it's proven that the majority of your psychotic killers, serial killers, hitmen, etc. tortured and killed animals in the
@WonGoodWoman childhood years. if you don't know what bear baying is you can search some videos and see what they make the bears go through and then you'll see families gathered around like it a fair. Please entertain me and try to defend Pennsylvania's pigeon shoot (which is legal) or how about fenced in exotic game reserves where the animals that are "stocked'' basically will walk up to you and eat out of your hand. how about the high priced big game safari hunts.
@WonGoodWoman Think those "hunters" have the 10 tons of elephant meat sent home. As for native americans, i really i love how we cherished and embraced their ways of life. I think we can only agree that the human species sucks
Can't and won't defend any animal killing where the animals aren't free to run/fly/swim in any direction THEY choose. That isn't hunting IMO and I would protest it at the top of my lungs.
As for the African hunts, the hunters take the parts of their trophy they can but the rest? Goes to the villagers and is used. It isn't left to rot in the sun.
Torture is torture and I won't condone it, ever. A coyote shot wild in an open field, and its hide use for mittens? Nice.
So...the animal world doesn't? Watched an elephant dying as the lions mercilessly ate him alive. They kill to eat, I understand but if hunters, REAL hunters, quick kill....well, we are at the top of the pyramid for a reason.
I welcome you to live amongst the animals, free from the human world that you say so sucks. No weapons. No nothing. Live like an animal. Lemme know how it goes.
Very nice job, great hide color also, I have some buffalo left, and am wanting to do something like this... Don't have a machine, but can do it by hand, will take awhile, but I betcha buffalo would be nice if it would work. If the blueprints for this are online, could I have a link to it? Thanks!
Question for you... the palm side, is that the coyote with the fur to the inside or is that another material so you have something in the palm for better wear/dexterity?
I have a question, hopefully you or somebody else has a chance to answer it. As far as fur goes, facing out (i.e. like you've made yours) or in (so the fur is against the skin), does it change how well the fur insulates, or just really personal preference?
@themfingbacon from everything I have seen you use the fur out and a liner inside - that way you can clean the liners and you will have dexterity with your fingers and thumbs - that wouldn't happen if the fur were inside.
Your best bet with mittens will be the "tough" furs that are durable. Beaver, otter, coyote, wolf, wolverine, mink. You can hand-sew them; use the blanket stitch and glover's needles. Never use scissors, use exacto knives and press gently on the leather side only.
@Gbaby779 No you'll need a fur machine - to find one just check kijiji.ca or some on-line classifieds - I put a wanted advert locally and found this one.
great video, im hoping to do this with squirrel fur and souble stich it so there is fur on the inside and outside, with an insulative air gap between.

@ANZACS100 I wouldnt recommend rabbit - the skin is too thin and they fall apart easily - the leather has to be nice and thick.

@ANZACS100 Too thin, you'd need something like, beaver, wolf, coyote, raccoon, caribou etc etc.
