Dr. Lemonseed shame they didn’t skin him and turn them into boots

Bob. my grandfather used to soak his in mineral oil for 2 weeks then take his fingers and squeeze the excess out and hang them in the barn in the shade to dry. I still have a dozen or so that are over 40 years old and in perfect condition. The colors are brilliant and they are soft and pliable. Thom

Are the skins dried before soaking, or freshly fleshed out?

@@fmadriz1338 mine is probably going for a month strong in a jar of mineral oil and denatured alchohol. And at this point im too afraid to take em out.

We live in the Texas panhandle over here at Flomot Texas. My dad, who passed 18 years ago, tanned snake hides. At one time, he had enough of them to make a 3 piece suit. I've got the vest he had made. I'm just now getting into this myself. Figured what the hell, after I killed 4 in one day outside the house. Killed another one that was trying to dry gulch me by sneeking up behind me the other day. I turned around and there he was about 5 feet from me slithering up. So far I now have 9 in the freezer. I appreciate your presentation. It was very educational, thx..

What coincidence! I was just telling my parents about how I missed seeing your videos, and a new one appears tonight! Excellent timing, friend, glad to see you back!

I was thinking of him last week. We must have the inside track of foresight. 🙂 👍

My boyfriend gave me one of the skins he had aquired when he was clearing his yard of several large rattlesnakes. Only he had soaked them in motor oil. They were rather icky and a little smelly so i soaked them in a strong solution of tea that was cooked until the water was black. And a lot of salt. ( yeah, neither one of us was very certain of the proper way of tanning. But but did take the smell away). I cant remember what else i did but one i wa done and dried it it came out satisfactory enough to sew it to a piece of felt to hang on a wall. It was a pretty patterned skin. The diamond markings were heart shaped in the center of the skin. I will always remember him with love when i look at it. He died of lung cancer a year after he gave it to me. He was the love of my life.

I just picked a beautiful diamond back off the road in the mountains. Then the mission began and now I know what to do. I can't wait to show all the kids. Thank You mate...

So glad to know you are safe and healthy. We pray for you, and your beautiful wife and daughter daily. Stay well!

Thank you, Mr. Hansler. Your presentations are very much appreciated. They take me to a world I wouldn't otherwise get to see. Great stuff! 👍

Lmao, just had to share how while watching my wife happened to walk in as you said, "you should have 4 skins in here, 4 sticks..." She made the nastiest look and said, "what the hell are you watching!?" Lol she heard that soooo wrong!

Well about time I see the end of the process..lol. Been waiting awhile. But its all good. I've been patiently waiting for you to post a new video for awhile now. Glad to see you again!

Good to see you back brother! A damn good human right here folks!

I dont see myself ever doing that but im still very interested in learning about all of this. You put out some very cool how to videos and if some day the occasion ever comes it just may save me. Thanks again!

Been a while since you posted! Glad to see you back! Cool video!

BOB!! Glad to see you back dude, looking good. Keep making videos

Was just thinking about you the other day, thanks for the great video!

Good to see another video of yours. Hope you are doing well with your eyes and hands.

This is the third time I’ve watched this episode. I love it! I remember each of these skins being procured. They must bring back incredible memories for you!

So glad to see you back thank you for the tips

Nice Hat! Good to see you again, I've been focusing on other things and not visiting my old haunts like I used to.

That was a really cool video .I like your shop . Take care of yourself Bob and looking forward of seeing you working in that shop I work with leather as well

Thanks Bob , I'm putting this process in my head. I find Copperheads mowing.

It's good to see you again.

I found your channel tonight and I have to say it’s one of the most interesting things to see you forage and hunt, I live in Georgia and we have slim to none of what you have in Texas, very cool and keep up the great work

Thank You, Mr. Hansler. I've had a snake in my freezer for no less that 3 yrs, I think it could be 5 or more. All the tanning stiff I found was a bit out of my price range when I first investigated how to do this. I couldn't get my hands on glycerin as you used, I had to get Simple cleansing water. I just took the skin out and it seems fine. No smell other than the rubbing alcohol.

Great to see you Bob.

Good to see you back!

I used to watch you all the time, but I forgot about you. Glad to see this again.

Thank you. I just killed a small copperhead and decided to try and dry and tan it myself to make a watchband. Your method seems much evolved!

What a fantastic presentation !!! I thought I was sitting in a University classroom . I learned so much. Greetings from Minneapolis

Nice to see you back and this is something that school will never teach me

Looks tasty 😺! Happy to see you again! Thank You for a real education.

Awesome informative vid! As a kid I just stretched and salted mine. It preserved them.....somewhat.

Bobs it's good to see you it's been awhile hope your eyes continue getting better till next time stay safe and keep up the good work with the scouts your friend Chris from Hickory NC

Yesss,stop doing what ever your doing BoB just posted a new video!!! We love ya brother!!

Awesome videos... I remember those snakes...been watching from the start. Glad to see you are doing better! Keep up the good work...

Thank you, sir! Stay safe and healthy.

Wow very cool thank you for your knowledge and expertise prayers for you and your family

Hey, Bob....great info in this. Had to come back and watch it again to get the amounts and the time. I was too busy chatting during the Premier. Crazy how much bigger your rattlers are than our Prairie Rattlers up here are. And we have ZERO Coral snakes. Whoa!! Lol! 7 months!! wow...I missed that the first time through. Cheers!

Glad you're back on YT. I don't tweet or facebook or any of that social media stuff, so I've missed you here. Your's was my favorite outdoorman's channel 'til you disappeared on me! Hope you post again soon. By the way, I bought your survival card and have already used some of the stuff on it.

Thank you, I live on a river bottom in East Texas a lot of snake mostly Copperheads and Cottonmouth i can't wait to try your method

Thanks for sharing Bob nice collection and one in particular cost you dearly ! Take care 👍🇬🇧

Very cool workshop.

you are incredible i cant believe that you dont have more the millions of subscribers you started 11 years ago

Good to see you're back at it. Those skins would make a nice pair of Sunday boots

Awesome stuff man!

Yo Bob !! Good to see you !!!

Great video It would be great if you could share another adventure like you did with the wooded beardsmen in the future. Your place is always awesome to discover!

Hey, Bob! enjoy your videos very much during these time's we're stuck inside. I'm glad to see you back, I really enjoy your videos they're one of a kind to me and the fact you manage to keep up with making videos, take care of yourself and still heart comments is truly amazing! keep up your videos man and stay well. I also wanted to mention I bet you and my dad would probably get along well, He looks strikingly close to you and he also loves survival stuff like this. I'm gonna introduce him to your videos later.

brother...so happy to see you back...hope you are doing good :)

Damn I forgot how much I love your channel!!!! Now I'm in that youtube rabbit hole lol. So happy to see you back!!!!!

My dad and grandad were awesome like that invaluable education seen some low country south carolina rattlers deer hunting and logging always amazed me how big some could get

Great tutorial video. Thanks for sharing!

I love that calm, collected, satisfied smile you always got brother! Despite your hardships you still smile, enjoy, and love what you do in life!! Thanks, it's an inspiration!! 💯👏

Thank you Bob, I appreciate your expert information. Above all I'm happy to see your back out and about! Cheers brother and god bless. Mac

I’ve tanned a few roadkill rattlesnakes. Cool video, man

Love you Bob. Love your video and the knowledge

I’m currently trying this right now, looking forward to see how this works out!

Yay you're back

Thanks, Bob! Another great video, and good to see you again. You are the World's example of a real Boy Scout!! Hope to see some more colab's with Wood Beard and Zack in the future.

Awesome! Thanks for another informative video my friend! Hope you are doing well. We miss ya! South African Farmer

I am jealous of that sewing machine. That's really interesting stuff.

Cool video! Thank you.. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Wonderful tutorial. I remember the episode when you were bit by the rattler - very harrowing. You also mentioned a while back about making flour out of Yucca seeds. Would love to see how that is done as I cannot find Yucca flour anywhere.

I own and operate Broken Tine Skullworks in Three Rivers and have recently been inlaying rattlesnake skin into the cheeks of deer skulls. Looks really cool.

Really enjoy your videos...as I listen to you talk I cant help but wonder about all your adventures and I ponder on what your elders must have been like for you to be so knowledgeable and clever..Thank you for sharing your life with us all,I'm learning from you and will be passing on what I retain to my 6yr old son.God Bless

This is great bob. I always did the dowel or pin board with just salt. Nice vid bro. Good to know...😃🍺

Just got my timber rattler done and by far this is the best method for tanning snakes however i wish i had more encounters with them cause they taste good and make nice trophies

Hallo i like ur video it’s entertaining and I’m glad ur back

Appreciate the video. Good information

Hello from Lake Ozarks- thank you very much- I used your method on a copperhead skin- my first ever. Richard

Great content as always👌🏻

I killed a 3 1/2 foot Mohave a couple of weeks ago. Didn't know anything about preserving the skin, so talked to my brother who suggested stretching it out on a board and salting it until I could find out how to preserve it. Using the glycerin and alcohol sounds like an easy way to preserve the skin. Hopefully it will be ok. The tutorial was very helpful

Great Video Bob. Always fantastic insight and knowledge.

Learned a lot. Stay safe out there.

That was a cool video young man!

Very interesting. Thanks!

thanks, i found this video very informative and look forward to tanning a snake skin. Over here in Scotland we have "Adders" and the have lovely skins.

This is a very cool process! I got a western diamond back before Christmas and it has been in the freezer until about 10 days ago. I skinned it then started the process my Dad taught me, it was salted and pinned with thumb tacks for two days. Then I saw this vidio and decided to try it,me and my daughter brushed off the salt then put glycerin & alcohol in the jug. Today is the 8th day in so we are going to do the drying process!!! We will seee😅
