Thank you so much. I found a fawn roadside just after it was hit. I just couldn't leave it there like that. So I brought it home. I appreciate your time and wisdom. So many videos go too far or not far enough in demonstration. This video was right on. Gratitude!
As an avid hunter for the past 45 years and one that has tand many hides with commercial kits, I thank you sir for taking the time to produce this wonderful three part series.
I have just come across your channel and subbed.
Cheers from Australia...
ps. Love the dog...
YOU are one hell of a role model my friend. Thank you for teaching self reliance. A trait that is sadly being lost in my generation.
As always, I'm always impressed with the information I hear. That last bit of information about braining the hide immediately was priceless information. You always include bits of information, like that, that everyone else leaves out. Thanks Dave!
9 years later, still priceless info I come back to. Thank you for all your work, Sir.
I truly enjoyed this series. Thanks for sharing all you do with those who are interested. I watched some natives use a type of bone scraper to soften their hides. It seemed to work really good I think it was a front leg bone from a deer. .
Love these kinds of videos. Very much appreciated.
hello, merry charismas for you and your family, I will give you one way that was used before in the western Arab tribes (Bedouin), just take your hide after you flesh it, just remove the big fat and meat pieces and if you want to keep hair you can keep it, while it is very wet lay it on the ground and cover it with soft dry soil and step on it till it dry, you will be amazed with the results, we were building big tents out of these hides long time ago using this way.
even the soil will color it depends on the soil color, white brown dark brown ...etc
thanks
Thank you Dave. I appreciate this series very much.
thanks Dave.... I really enjoyed this series!
Thank you David....this was an awesome series. Although I have known about brain tanning and such ever since I was a kid and had great interest in it it have never done it or seen it done. I really appreciate all of your hard work. You are the standard....you are the bar.
Thanks for this series Dave. I've watched my grandad tan many hides and I feel like this is definitely a lost art.
Greetings from Coshocton County....another great video Dave...thanks...hope you guys are staying warm!
I watched several videos but this is the best.
That was a great series, thanks, man.
Great series thanks Dave! Always wondered how this was done
Thanks God there are people like you that teach so valuable lessons that are lost in our times!
Stay safe and keep having fun!
awesome series, very interesting, thank you!
Nice job, Dave. Appreciate you putting out this effort. One thing, and forgive me if it's been asked already... Have you tried roping the hides to expedite the drying process? I've used this method for years and have gotten decent results.
I typically break and stretch my hides over a post and then move to roping them until bone dry.
Super helpful on larger hides.
Took all day (sun up to sun down) on an elk hide one year. 😳
Great series on brain tanning. Looks like this is the way I want to go. Thank you!
Really well articulated. Nice to see that done right in the field. Cold weather and all. I'm impressed. Thanks.
Another great video, Mr. Canterbury.
thank you dave
Thanks for taking the time to teach us. Looking forward to each new video
Terrific series, thank you, Dave.
Great demo mate..and thanks for the time to make this video.
Crazy coincidence looking up how to brain tan a hide after skimming over 3 different videos I end up on this series realizing on part 2 you're the same guy that wrote the book I just read, Bushcraft 101. Wow you're a really awesome guy and I deeply appreciate your work. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to make this set of videos Dave!
thanks for sharing. I am very anxious to learn how to tan a cheap way, and you showed me.
Excellent series, thanks Dave...
Thanks Dave great series and a tremendous teaching series you do on so many topics! Your awesome my man thanks so much for all you give to your fellow man!
I watched the whole series and I must say Thank you!
Thanks a lot Dave, I really appreciate your videos.
Thanks Dave. I will probably not ever tan any animal, but just to have the knowledge is great. You are a fantastic teacher and I admire you sharing the skills with the rest of us.
I started watching your new tanning series ,to see if modern methods made it easier and I want to see if Old school brain tanning was as hard as I remember ? YUP ! ,I helped Brain tan deer hides as a kid ,this video is exactly what I remember.
You're not kidding about breaking a hide is an all day job , and it's exhausting ,your hands,arms and shoulders are gonna hurt the next day.
Thanks for the memories ,
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome! Everything you teach is what I love!
sir, good job on your hide, been watching my mom tan hide for years, a tip for you on wood choice, dead fall wood lying on the ground, like half rotten/broken down reddish in colour(Canadian), set in a fire pot and let smolder, it does give the hide a strong smell some say, it is a traditional boreal forest method.
I'm excited ta see it finished..Thanxs again have a great thanksgiving ...
THANK YOU, AND BLESS YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR FAMILY'S HOUSES.
With the amount of time it takes, it really makes you appreciated the 21st century!
Thanks again for this series!
Thank you sir for your guidance, I am wanting to tan something with out store bought items. The idea to brain tan is my answer again thank you.
Thanks this was a awesome video I would love to see more of these on different animals thanks again
Great series Dave. I learned a lot.
Your videos are fascinating and educational Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video, very informative, got to skin my first beaver today and will begin drying out tomorrow. Thank you
Many Thanks Dave.
Thanks again Dave.
awesome video series Dave
Question for you. What type of belt knife do you use, and where can someone purchase one. Thanks. Awesome video series also.
My question is after smoking it when you use it for clothing wouldnt the camp fire smell be left in the hair and kind of hinder you if you used the garment while hunting?
Dude, I have to say that you're one hell of a man! I really like all of your videos! Keep it up! Your dog is awesome too ;)
Putting that blanket to work!😂
Thanks Dave
Great series!
Very good Video! Does brain tanning smell a lot?
Small tough areas are best dealt with by chewing them. Also, not sure what you want to make out of this hide but you generally want the fur inside. Fur outside is nice for fashion, but fur inside keeps you warm.
awesome. awesome. primitive skills. 2 thumbs up, thank you
Cant wait to try this. Thank you for this video!
thank you so much sir , i respect your work a hella lot!
you r my go to bushcraft/woocraft guy been watchen from the start
Ever tried a tannin tanning? Once saw a cool article on using an ember to make a bowl in a cut off tree stump(oak) and keeping it filled with water and oak chips(for added tannin) and using it for making leather.
Good series, I have been wanting to do a hair on deer hide. I want to make a vest and either chaps or pants. Rufus is always glad to help and just be around you. Good dog!!
David I believe you should have brained the hide a second time after you broke it somewhat , then the pores would have opened up to absorb the liquor better than when it was hard and stiff. Then you can break it a last time prior to smoking IMO . Regardless it is very informative for a beginner !
Thanks Dave something ive always wanted to know. I thought I read somewhere you had to mix a little salt in with the mix?
Great series Dave. thanks for sharing. How many hours did that beaver take? Thanks
Dave Canterbury, the true american legend.
I like this series of videos. I believe the beaver pelt was the trappers bread & butter in the late 1800's. Up until beaver felt hats "top hats" went out of style. I think?
Great vid Dave
thanks dave enjoyed the videos
dave, after you smoked your hide and break it again do you smoke it again? all your videos are great so much information keep them coming thx
I have 2 brothers that worked for a beef packer in iowa their way to soften hides was to put them in some kind of tumbler and throw in an old pair of tennis shoes or something similar then tumble them for about an hour. much easier than working your arms off .
Hey Dave, touching on the smoking the hide, what wood would you say works best for a light tan/golden tan color buckskin? Would Hickory or oak work well? or something like Elm?
I'm going to try brain tanning for the first time and I was wondering if there is a preferred way to store the hide for approximately 8 hours before I can begin scraping. Thoughts?
Your awesome dave!
You are amazing to watch, wish you were my dad
Nice video series, what did ya end up making with it? i apologize if you mentioned and i didnt catch it, but it seems it would make a pretty nice hat!
Thanks Dave...we look about the same age. Your strategic use of your cheaters I found impressive! And where did you get that coat with shoulder gussets? I've been looking for a coat with them. I will be using your methods this fall. Thanks for the video.
Great as usual Dave. One question, Should you resmoke your hide after awhile?
Ha! Ignore previous question on video #1, you answer it in this video. Thanks for sharing your skills!
Thanks for these videos! I realized what I did wrong on my first brain tan.
Good video. I appreciate all you do. BTW anyone else notice the treestand in the left of the vid?
Do you still prefer to use the breaking stick method with something as large as a deer hide? Or do you leave it in the stretcher, as shown in Brian Manning's tanning video, and break it with somewhat of a carved boat oar?
Good work for the triceps
After applying the brains and letting it sit 24 hours did you rince it in water? Or just start breaking it down?
Was wanting to stretch a deer hide off of a buckeye shot and hang on the wall with a wood frame would I have to do all the softening process still since it was going to be on a wood frame and be stiff and on the wall
I been watching your videos since 03. Now I'm 48 and was 33 when I started. I've done some of those things but this I haven't done yet
This is the exact technique I used to turn a brown paper grocery bag into a Native American vest for my son’s kindergarten Thanksgiving project.
First of all please feed the cute dog
Next is that this video is the best among all others I've watched and if I may I would like you to look at us when giving advice
Your voice quality is excellent and not confusing and it would be better for us to understand if you just told instructions a little bit more clearly because this video is being watched from all over the world for instance I am a turkish
The final request would you mind shooting another video about the brain soaked tanning like you advised in this video if you have already type a link to it below
Good vid Dave. The way you continue to improve and evolve is wonderful to watch. Beats the hell out of a rap video! :)
Great video series. I wanted to do this next time i got a deer but didnt know how. One question though, you mentioned several times that you didnt want the hide to freeze because its cold. Well i live in southeast texas so i dont have that problem but it is pretty hot and humid. How would the heat and humidity affect the process and could it ruin the hide.
thank you for your videos x3 part tanning
Thank you very much for this video I have three beavers that I will do this with.
can i smoke it with pine/spruce/etc.. leaves instead?
Hello David, I had a question, would it be safe for me to do the whole process up to the stretching part and leave the hide in my basement until I can get access to a fire? As in if I leave the stretched hide on a shelf until summer, can I just put it over a fire to smoke it no problem?
That was awesome
So does the stump your rubbing it against have to be rough? Does it matter whether the surface is smooth or rough?
Id like to know who figured out you could do this with the brain. The ingenuity of of so called primitive people is just amazing.
Great videos ! Dave in the 18th century long hunters series you talked about having the fire low with as little smoke as possible to remain undetected by possible natives.What methods would be used if smoking was not an option?
My thoughts: Build the fire under a large tree to help disperse the smoke, and use a Dakota fire pit made with the driest wood available [and keep it small!]
Right brother, great job!!!!!
