    "I don't get much excitement in killing living animals, but with leather being such a common product--one that I've worn many times before, it would be hypocritical of me to attempt to whitewash over this item."
    I appreciate your honesty, and accountability.

    I had no idea what went into making leather. I didn't know that the curing process took so long. And it's nice to know where tannin comes from. Before, I just assumed you just let the skin dry and it turned into leather. I also didn't expect that removing the hair would have been that easy.

    As a long time tanner, educator and author on subjects related to tanning and leather, I can say there were some things done very wrong here. The product was basically a poor quality rawhide, dyed on the outside. I have a lot of videos on my channel about how to do this process. The main mistake was not using even remotely enough tannin. This is the most common bad mistake made in vegetable tanning leather, so no negative judgement, most of us have done it as novices. I'm guessing that was either pine bark mulch or old bark off a dead tree. Neither likely contains enough tannin to do much. If using very rich, quality bark, that may have been enough, but probably not. If there is enough tannin and the hide is handled and stretched and stirred some, it can tan much faster. I don't want to type a how to do it here, but I have lots of vids on it. In fact, I just did one recently on this very mistake and how to avoid it. Feel free to contact me if you do something with leather again. I'd love to collaborate. Cool channel.

      Personally, I think there has been some research done here. Surely those who came up with tanning noticed how ingredients containing tannins tan the tongue. After all, even strong tea gives interesting sensations on the mucous membrane of the mouth. Someone compared the sensations, and decided to check. I would not write off the fact that our ancestors could use their brains.

    In addition to the overtanning, I'm guessing that part of why your leather is so stiff is that you did not bate it. This is a set of processes (pounding with mallets, flexing it a whole bunch, etc.) meant to soften the leather and make it more pliable.
    EDIT: Also, as someone else mentioned, not enough tannins.

      Andrew Baker I'm not 100% sure but at 3:00 you see a wound next to the shoulder on the left side. Maybe it was a quartering shot with the exit wound in the right abdomen. With a rifle that sort of penetration is not an issue and is still passing through the vitals.

    For the optimum tan you would've stretch it and scrape it while you were drying it in the sun and periodically street it more

    the hide should have been brain tanned (using the brain from the deer), allowed to dry and stretched. Then worked to soften the now leather before being smoked with 'punky' wood to preserve it. What you have there, is buckskin. Which is why it is so hard and black. It is not leather.

    what is that tag for ? and what is written to it ?

    • @htme
      @htme  8 лет назад +13

      In Minnesota you need to register the deer you kill, and the tag confirms that it was killed by someone with a hunting license and is within their limit (only one tag is issued per person, usually). Officers from the Department of Natural Resources will occasionally check on hunters during the season and verify if any deers are properly tagged. If not they can face a harsh fine.

      Muhammad Luqman Hidayat Also in certain areas you can purchase bonus tags to take an additional deer. Dependong on the region neer the twin cities there is an over population so you can buy as many tags as you want. Also derr are delicious.

      Muhammad Luqman Hidayat yeah, it works like that in every State in the USA. Our government takes control over every aspect of our lives in this way. Im surprised that we dont have to have their permission to wipe our butts, or report to them about how many squares of toilet paper we use at a time......yet. Welcome to the "land of the free."

    • @htme
      @htme  9 лет назад +4

      +Arjen Hartink Good question! It's called field dressing and must be done as soon as possible after hunting and killing an animal in order to preserve the meat and prevent bacteria from forming.
