A bit off subject, but would love to see the setup you have for raising rabbits for food/fur. Love all your vids and the time to spend passing on knowledge for free that so many charge money for. Hoping to have money for a trip to your school next year, so stay healthy, and keep it real bro.

I wondered that as well ccrislip1. I know that salt is mined in the earth, but I wonder if there is either salt above ground in larger boulders (cause salt dissolves), or is naturally occurring by some other source? So I wonder what the native Americans did for salt, cause if nothing else, they have to have electrolytes in their diets.

You tan the hide so it can be used for many different things, like clothes, pouches, or quivers and will last for years.In most places if you don't tan the hide, it rots and stinks to high heaven. I've seen hides in the desert, where it's very arid, get hard as a rock and become unusable.

Now this is something I'm very interested about. Tanning hides. Using as many parts of the deceased animal as possible is important to me. I think it not only aids in self sustainability, but shows respect for the critter who gave it's life.

A simple question. What's your point of view on safety when cleaning an animal? I've read a few places that I should wear gloves to prevent all kinds of shit, but I see you, a seasoned vet, going bare. I did search your channel for an answer before asking, but you have quite a few videos lol.

Is there a book Tannin for Dummys, Why do you salt the hide?... then rehydrate...salt it... only to rehydrate it again in a solution. If you could, for us trapping newbies, explain what the process is actually doin to the hide. I do like your common man approach, Table salt, Dawn soap are among the things that are left on grocery shelves long after the milk and bread are gone.

Dave I'm not sure what the original comment said but let me tell you I live in the city and I wouldn't have the faintest idea of what to do with an animal carcass whether it be for skinning or for eating if it wasn't for your videos- and that doesn't even scratch the surface of what I've learned from you. Thanks again- you are the (common) man.

Dave, have I understood the sequence correctly? kill->skin->fleshing/scraping->salt stretch the hide->dry for 24 hours scrape salt->re-salt->dry another 24 hours scrape salt->soak->re-stretch->dry out tanning, and whatever else comes in the next video Your instructions are great, just making sure I didn't miss anything!

I was wondering what would keep the fur from slipping when it was soaked in salt water. From your reply to PossumSquasher it sounds like the original salting made it such that the fur won't slip from the salt water soaking. Am I right?

Speaking in terms of self-reliance, how would one come across salt if they aren't buying from the stores.... I get on the coastline from the ocean but in the center of the country... where do we get it to do this? Or can we use something else?
