@WinterWoodlands smoke permeates the hide with creosote, (wood tar) waterproofing and preserving the hide, this process also gives the hide the "Tanned" coloration that can range from yellow to dark brown. creosote is toxic to bacteria,

That was great. I was wondering if you can show how to skin a furred animal like a rabbit or some other animal. is the technique similar? i think it would be more difficult. thanks

Fishing4snakes is correct. This snake is still definitely as dangerous also. Great video.

I have been studying snakes for seven years and one snake I have been studying greatly was the copperhead snake. I am pretty sure the snake in the video was a cottonmouth snake aka water moccasin which is still respectively poisonous

Is there a reason why you did not cut the head off prior to skinning other than persevering it for the hide? Does this tanning method work with mammals?

@kayak17 this method works well with any hide. i leave the heads on all of my hides, they have little or no value if they are not whole and complete.i am a fur trader and i still practice the old way skinning and tanning. to have a trade value the hides have to be complete with as few holes as possible

@trapperjacksurvival Understandable; for tanning mammals would you still remove the membrane and salt the hide or just go ahead and smoke it?
kayak17 5 months ago
@kayak17 Salting a hide is not necessary that only speeds up the drying process,it doesnt cure or tan. it is better to air dry and smoke. the hide is stronger and easier to soften . salt stiffens the raw leather and makes conditioning more difficult. salt is a drying agent . salt promotes shrinkedge
