My husband is an avid hunter and I make homemade soap as a hobby. I just started rendering the deer tallow to make soap. It's such a great way to use another part of the animal. I've been making the soap with a mixture of the deer fat, olive oil and coconut oil but now I want to just try pure deer fat like you did. It looks like a really creamy lather. Thanks for sharing!
Hello! This is awesome. My husband and I (at the ripe ages of 61 and 60 respectively ), are trying to be more self sufficient. This is to include rendering our own tallow for cooking. And I’d love to learn (which I just did thanks to you) and make our own soap. I hear that dear tallow makes great skin moisturizer/lotion. Again something I want to learn and make. Thank you for this video! I enjoyed watching and learning. Never too old to learn something new!! ❤️💜💚
I made it once---- well my daughter made it and it was amazing. I live in the middle of Indian country up here in Northern Minnesota. My native friends and family begged it all off of me to use as shampoo. I'm thinking of trying cedar tea in place of the water. We'll see.
Really great content! You made this look easy! Really nice soap! We just got 2 deer and I have been saving the tallow off of them and 2 from last year. Cant wait to try this
Going to try the deer tallow soap this fall after hunting season. Ìve used beef tallow and lard and was wondering how soap from deer fat would be. I usually clarify it at least 2 to 3 times after initial boil though.
Great video! I just got done rendering out 4 1/2 pounds of lard from Adele this season. This is just the video I was looking for. I am thinking I am going to have more of a pine pitch scent for mine. Where did you source your essential oils?
Sir, cold process soap it is not safe to handle or use with out gloves for the first 2 weeks , it can still burn you unless you check the PH before to be safe. I LET MY PH to be between 7 and 8.5 , then I touch the soap or used. PH strips can be ordered from Amazon very cheap and can save your skin. Also those 4 weeks necessary for the soap are for complete saponification of the oils and for the lye to be neutralize. In your presentation, before you cut the soap, you touch your face and this is how i burn my face doing exact the same as you. Always have some vinegar around when you handle LYE. Be safe and enjoy your soap
• Ingredients
• 32 oz tallow
• 4.2 oz lye

Question is that 32 oz of tallow after the final straining process i assume? Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video!

Me and the wife making our first batch of soap this winter. Very glad we stumbled on this video 👍

Recipe worked great, you were spot on with the measurements. We love the soap decided on tee tree oil and grapefruit

@@KoondickOutdoors I'm rendering the tallow now! Will do!
Thank you for the recipe. I'm going to try this with bear fat. I would never hunt bear but the local butcher saves the fat for me.
Thats awesome! Definitely let me know how that turns out. I heard bear fat is amazing to cook with. I'm very curious how the soap will be.

Awesome video, thanks for making!
Thanks brother. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Awesome! I actually got mine at Walmart
Where did you get the mold to form the soap?
On Amazon. I think it was like 17 bucks
I never uses deer tallow looks like I needs to try it someday.
My grandpa used it for shaving, i started using a safety razor 4 years ago myself but haven't tried deer tallow soap yet
Thanks for going all the way to the lather.
No problem at all. Thanks for watching
Why is that satisfying watching the soap cut
Dude imagine how it felt cutting it in person lol im stoked how good it turned out. Its my favorite soap and all I use now.

I appreciate then insight. Will certainly be more careful in the future
Dude, great fucking content. You have a new Israeli sub:)
Thanks so much brother
It is not safe to use or to handle. Until the ph is right and safe for skin
