@@crerar01 I will give it a try and let you know. ... maybe a head to head video to see which one is better!

​@OutdoorMike I guess I could post a video of me doing it because I'm getting 7/8 minutes easy and up to 9 Minutes doing the exact same method that you have done. Any guess on why I can't get the color consistency?

@@crerar01 what color are you trying to use?

Red and orange. I'll upload a video tomorrow. I'm getting close to 9 minute's steady.​@OutdoorMike

​@OutdoorMike, if you check later today, I will upload my video. 8.5 minutes. Thank you!

@@Trappingwithgavyn-ug9of what do you mean by flip them?

@@OutdoorMike once you put them on the board I’m saying what way do you put them on fur out or fur in at the first part once you board them

@Trappingwithgavyn-ug9of I board the fur side out. It is very dry in Arizona so by the time I am done fleshing them out they are dry enough to put on the stretcher fur out. Also I rub them down with borax before putting them on the stretcher to get any more of the last moisture.

@patrickhier7252 If I remember right I added some glycerine to it. I kept it in the fridge until I took it on the trap line.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

@daveb.4268 that's interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

so I started looking around on the internet. They are called Sand Wasps, and they don't sting! They dig the holes to lay eggs, and they put food (Flys, mosquitoes, deer flys, and so on) in the holes for the larva to eat.

@@crerar01 peanut oil.

@@OutdoorMike thank you! Gonna give this a try!

@crerar01 No problem. I use them all the time. I also cut them in half and just use the smaller pieces so I get even more fire starters out of them.

Hey thank you for this awesome video I want it to report back! I got a chance to do these today and they worked out to about 7 to 8 minutes of burn time in the wind. I do have a question I couldn't find peanut oil so I use regular vegetable oil do you think that makes a difference? I use the crayon the same way but I did not get the consistency like you did or the coloring how did you get that to do that with the crayons ? ​@@OutdoorMike

@crerar01 I think as long as you use some sort of vegetable oil, your burn time will average about the same. I use peanut oil because I keep my oil from deep frying turkey and re-ues it for other applications like this. As far as the crayon goes, I just put about a half inch to an inch long piece in with the mix for color. It's not a necessary step, but I like to do the colors more for fun. I also did it in the video so it was clear that I was showing the two different versions store bought vs homemade. Hope this helps. Glad you enjoyed the video! Is there anything else in this realm of videos that you would like to see me do?

@danforthrhodes8960 I appreciate the question and the openness to understand. We have a very large and strong population of bobcats and other predators in Arizona. If they are not properly managed, they will wipe out other populations of animals. Also, if the numbers are not managed, then nature starts killing them through disease and starvation. We had an area hit by feline distemper a while back, and it is a horrible way to die. This happened due to overpopulation. The cats are not killed for a trophy. I sell the fur and the skulls the lower Jaw is collected by Game and Fish for a scientific study they are doing on the bobcats. I also eat the meat and use the glands for baits and Lures. I also collect the feet to sell to be used in crafts like claw necklaces, key chains, hat bands, and so on. Hope this helps answer your question, and thank you for watching!

@OutdoorMike Thanks for the clear response. I live in Southern Arizona and have never seen a Bobcat near us. Not sure I want to see one up close haha. In my area we have deer, coyotes, javelin, and occasionally a wolf, bear and a mountain lion. I understand overpopulation issues but hate to see them killed in their prime. I am glad they're not killed as trophies. As Arizona continues to grow I am really concerned about wild animals losing their habits and then encroaching on people because they have no where else to go.

@@LilClucker Thank you!

@@Brian-rr3nj thanks!

@NevadaBeeMan-nq3po They actually did start using them. My chickens are picky, though, so of them still lay their eggs in the dirt no matter what.

If your town has Craig's list,that would probably be ur best bet.

@@eddiebarrera-ws8vu thank you

I get my barrels from a guy on FB market place. 20 each

@@OutdoorMikethanks! I’ll check there

Thanks!

I haven't had that issue, so not really sure. Good luck with that though.

@@OutdoorMike I have a glass top electric stove. So the metal slides some. I’m trying to figure out what I could put under the corners of the grill top that wouldn’t slide.

Maybe you could try one of those grilling mats underneath it. They can take intense heat and my solve the sliding issue.

Thanks, I am glad you liked the video! Feel free to share it with anyone else looking for information about it!

@@OutdoorMike Awesome, will share it to our socials! Thank you!

Thank you. About 20 or so.

Fleshing is removing all the meat and membrane from the inside of the hide.

Through the ATA. Jim put it out to the members a while back to get volunteers so we can have more instructors across the state.

@@OutdoorMike Gatcha, On my member but must not have seen hit in the news letter.

Yes we do. Thank you.
