Traditional Brain Tanning Buffalo Hides Part 1: Fleshing, Scraping, Salting & Framing

[@calestelken4645]

Awesome video series! This is the first time I've heard of "freeze scrapping." Really insightful and probably the best videos I've seen covering the entire buffalo tanning process.

Thank you very much Cale!

A long time ago I read a book called “Naked into the Wilderness - Primitive Survival and Living Skills”. Great book that covered many things including brain tanning hides. This video brought back what I had read in that book. Great job ladies and great video.

[@fourseasonsnorth]

We have that book, too! Thanks for the comment :)

How long can a salted hide sit while waiting for warmer weather ?

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Hello was wondering if you can flesh it n salt n save it for a couple months

[@fabriciomarchi9695]

I said that it's looks like a bear almost at the same time 😆. Beautiful hide, waiting for part 2.

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Very nice

[@Pfarley]

Do you cut away the tail or keep it on the hide?

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Generally cut the tail off.

[@obamalastname34]

Lucky people and wish i have this kind of culture in leather in my area

[@Braintanman]

You will want to try to get the hide all white before braining. Smoke in between brainings, less water is better with these hides as the fibers structure is very loose and they can fall apart if they stay wet for too long. For thinning, just below the vein channels of the hide is usually a safe bet. Will be interested to see the next video

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it. We're working on the next video.

[@XxN8iVeSc0uTxX]
