Great vids and great channel brotha! Keep up the good work! I have a bunch of hides in the freezer, and have been meaning to share our methods of stone tools brain-tanning and egg-tanning with our viewers. Now seeing your video, I am inspired! Thanks again for the great content! As we always say, "Keep the old ways alive!"
I got these out of order and can't find WHAT you use fr the solution. Is it just water or is a brain solution? This should be shown to every woman so that they can see what the old ones went through to get those wonderfully soft, beautifully white shins for moccasins! White women, think they have it rough but, if they were to have to do this every day, until all the hides were done, they would really KNOW what work is! I'm not a racist so, if you want to bang away at me, go ahead. I'm a quarter Cherokee, adopted Lakota and raise White! I know what I'm talking about on both sides of the issue and I have done this myself with Elk and Deer hides! You are a marvel, Robert! Thanks for showing us all the steps!
Ironically, I'm a white woman who does traditional brain tanning, because I don't know of any indigenous people who do it. The man who taught me was white, and I have yet to find anyone in our area who isn't too lazy to do it.
I love your trapping videos brother im building my own bows and homeade arrows with flint points beginning to skin deer at local butcher for 10 bucks a piece and the free hides to tan for clothing .
Where do you guys live at I would love to know I stay in Colorado we got 3 ft of snow right now but I would really love to learn how to do all this stuff I want to do it
I would love to see a video about your tools, how you made them and what each is used for! AND what grit did you use for sanding? AND during the second smoking, how long per side? AND is the third cycle the same as the second? (soak for 2 days, work for 2 days?)
Hi Robert love your video,s, I was wondering if it be possible to show the different tools for diff. job that your using, whether it's home made or such. Thanks lot for your knowledge and keep healthy.
Hey uncle I heard that some people use the brain to cure the hide how would a young native hunter learn to do that I’ve tried asking my elders but that info is lost in time
What part did you put your oil or moose brain .I thought ones you take it out off the wood part then put oil or moose brain. Put I notice nothing .or maybe you don't use any oil.
He never said .. But most hides are brain tanned, some people including Natives, will also add soap or even raw eggs. There's a real good video out on YT called something like Cree moose hide tanning ?? Which gives way more details.
