I will be moving to Alaska soon and so I've had to learn a lot of skills. Many of these skills are probably things my Grandpa knew. I share the skills I've learned and I hope that as you learn your own skills you will become more confident and independent.
I use ball bungee. They are brilliant. Drop the loop of bungee cord through Gromit hole ball sits on top tie tope to bungee loop job done. Or you hook a bungee cord to the bungee loop .
That's a good idea for a future video. This was more about how I practically go about sour dough, but you could certainly go a lot deeper into the science.
Thanks for the input. My up close camera quit working right before i went to make the video so I was stuck with my gopro. Next time I bone out an animal I will definitely try and get better closeups.
Knetters Practical Outdoors has some really good videos, too. Basically they do the same thing you do but separate the glands and good steaks from grind meat.
Thanks for the resources. I worked in a butcher shop 25 years ago so I still remember the basics, but the fine details have definitely faded over time. I'm a generalist on this channel so I appreciate the references to those who have deeper knowledge.
@@alaskalifeskills3898 Probably why you have fingers still and cleaned that bone of so well. I thought from the other comment and your reply you mat have been a novice, but thanks for that resource! I always wanted to hunt Elk since I was young and being you pack the meat out, you have to have those skills or at least like ground meat! Maybe one day I'll get there.
@@alaskalifeskills3898 You never start out knowing everything. You have to learn as you go! Mistakes happen and there's a lot of failures before success, life is just that way. I'd rather have a bad day hunting or fishing (as long as nobody gets hurt) than a bad day at work!
You can cut that up anyway you like, really! I watched some good videos and the guy tells you what the pieces are , like the hind leg you did would have the Sirloin at the top by the hip joint and the muscle on the front I believe is the Tip Roast (sirloin tip?) then the bone separates the top and bottom round and the eye of round is connected to one. (not sure which) The Bearded Butchers do videos but you have to be able to keep up they're fast, but have good videos anyway.
Anybody who can get an elk completely gutted in under 10 minutes has my respect!It usually takes me closer to an hour. Thanks for the fantastic lesson!
