How to Make a Rabbit Fur Hat
I breed rabbits for meat and fur. Their tanned furs can be warmer than wool clothing, and they require much less labor to process. This is my first attempt at making a rabbit fur hat for my baby boy. Next time I'll use a different pattern because this one had some flaws. With fur being a natural byproduct of raising meat, tanning an using the hides makes perfect sense, and it's a valuable skill that most of us have forgotten.

Props to you for not putting your kid on the Internet! Can't wait to see more of what you make.
10/10 can't wait to try tanning/using my own wild rabbit hides later this year once I finally get one. Love seeing content from creators out here in Idaho!

Good luck! Be careful scraping those wild rabbit hides. They're so thin. I would recommend having the bark solution all made up after you kill a rabbit so you can scrape the hide and put it straight in without drying it. They're just so easy to rip when dry, especially the western cottontails we get around here. Freezing is fine too.
You could stitch a whole bunch together and make a giant blanket
Never thought about summer fur vs. winter fur being different, but of course it makes perfect sense. Nice project.
I LOVE my rabbit 🐇 hair hat to sleep in when I’m truck-camping in 30° F weather at night. It’s the best! (You are very skilled :)
You have some really great outdoor/diy videos. I always enjoy finding your new ones
This is my new favorite channel! Excellent video!

Age the furs? Is there a reason for that?

@@FloydGreen-kt1cyI'm thinking aging is some sort of treatment to make the pelt retain the fur, which is what I'm looking for. I don't want to put all that work in just for the fur to fall out and end up with a leather skull cap, though on thinking about it that does sound kinda cool, and might be good scalp protection for a baldy like me. Lol

@@FloydGreen-kt1cy Untreated, yes, the hair falls out. I found the info on this channel in a series of shorts. Tanning uses the tannins in tree bark as a preservative. Looks simple, but it also looks like it will color white fur. I'll keep looking. I'm loving the apocalyptic skull cap idea. Gonna keep that in mind.
Time to start tanning
Amazing! Good that you dont use your child for views.
Would love to buy one from you
I would keep it 1 hole skin..fold n stitch......x
I've only seen rabbit fur hats hair in, now I'm wondering which way it is
That is a stellar hat! Would it be beneficial to wax your thread before sewing, or is there a reason not to do that?
I am looking for rabbits that are usable for both meat and fur. You mentioned that you use silver fox for your buck, and your females are crosses. What are they crosses of? Are there any other types of crosses you recommend for both fur and meat?

Did you smoke this after tanning it as well or just the bark tan?

I watched a few of his videos on tanning and I don't believe he smokes any of them before or after.
Can you show how you make stone knife handle?

no because that's a really bad material to use for handles. use wood, bone, or one of the various modern materials.
