Everybody, I apologize for my long absence. It's a long story, but I basically got hit with a restart button. I forgot I still owed a knife. I can run and get one before work tomorrow. Unfortunately,...

For a tin, I use a candy tin. The lid fits on tight enough, and it can be knocked around a bit in the fire, without the worry of your cloth being exposed.
K, crash, settle down about that, I'm getting another one.
You're talking a natural gas range right?
I spent a couple hundred hours converting an old camper into an ice shack. I got all finished, but I cheaped out on the wood stove, and the paint on the outside of the stove caught fire. Burned the...
Well, It was sloppy wet, so I left it for a bit, and when I checked on it, it was already getting stiff, so I started working it, stretching it, and my utensil pushed right through the hide. It's...
I bet you could use wood for support, and silicone it to seal it, instead of using fibreglass and epoxy. I'm good at skimping to save cash... HAHA
This is what I wanted to do with my deer this year. I don't think I could macerate it tho. YUCK! I'll probably do the bugs thing this summer. Maybe give it a boil, then peroxide or a tiny bit of...
I wish I would have taken pics, but I skinned it (not cased like I wanted), fleshed it, and threw it in a frame. I couldn't get the brains out of the skull no matter what I tried, so I'm using eggs....
Okay, I think I'll be able to rig something up. What else can I do, as well as salting, that sets the hair? Or is that it? If I ruin it, it's not a big deal to me, it's all about learning right?...
I've got a good first try (I think). I managed to catch myself a weasel this week. So I'm gonna try to tan it. I would like to case skin it though, so how do you suggest I go about braining and...
I personally believe if I am able to track, find, stalk and kill an animal, it was it's time to die. Generally, they hear, see, smell, or percieve (yes, I think animals can feel your thoughts) that I...
Does it have to go in a frame, or can it be softened in the same fashion you would do for buckskin? Frameless that is.
Actually now that you mention it, I think it does... Hmm. Muskrat then... I dunno lol.
I've decided. I'm gonna make a pair of gloves as featured in the glove making thread. I think I'll do a hair-on tan using white rabbits. Now all I gotta do is snare a couple rabbits. Think 2 will be...
Agreed....
So... I've got a question. I've really thought about tnning a hide for a rather long time. Problem is, I don't really wanna take on a project the size of a deer. So, my question is, if deer wasn't an...
I know it's an old thread, but I'm contamplating raising chickens this winter. The link in the first post doesn't work for me. Does it work for anybody else?
Good news is crash, that I've still got everything except the blade. So it won't be a problem.
I'll see if I can pick one up for a decent price, and pass it along.
Hi everyone. I know some of you have been looking for the passaround knife. The bushman. It was a while ago that my nephew was staying with me. He came to me and say that he lost one of my knives. He...
So... I'm thinking of building a new smoker. I've got an old fridge that I think will work. So far I've made a hole in between the freezer part, and the fridge part. The freezer part is on the...
Tell her to open the mail box real fast...
I appologize rick, if I'm wrong, but I believe he's reffering to the fact that most people hack off the meat and toss the bones and skin of the deer.
Wow, This happened to me not too long ago. I was helping my neibor clean out his house, and I came across his childhood 22. I asked him what I should do with it, and he said to put it in the back...
