When u get a nice thick roll of flesh, take ur skinning knife and trim it off! Makes the process easier and ensures u don’t get tear through!

LFG, use ash from the fireplace when you soak your hide to release the hair. The lye in the ash will release the hair in about 5 days and it will also keep the bugs out of your solution in warmer weather.

I have done that several times. The recipe i have is 2 lbs of ashes plus the water and let it sit and stir it each day. Then after a couple days you add a couple tablespoons of borax stir it up and let it sit the remainder of the time to equal 5-7 days it may take up to 10 days for a large hide. If done correctly you can easily scrape the hair off with a dull putty knife.

Something about this fall weather and project is such a vibe

Hell yeah brother I love watching all the primitive crafts you do I could watch them for hours!! Definitely would love to see more!!!

I’ve watched your videos since spring of 2017. I have to say these informative videos and watching you make bows and arrows have been some of the most satisfying.

You always pick best tunes to go with your style videos and this one was no exception. It always enhances a video multiple times over. Simply awesome. Thanks LFG.

Hell yeah, the voice overlay while you work is awesome as well

Most can't appreciate the sharpness of a good blade!!! Great video!!!

Best ASMR I've ever seen!

I used to flesh hides like that and switched to using a power washer. Knocks all of the flesh fat and meat off and even the blood. Great video! Like the process you show!

Extremely interesting, start to finish raw hide

Love this. It’s all the my side of the mountain stuff I always wanted to learn

That was a process and a half. Awesome

This was a really cool video. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!

Tom Orr from mountain men would be very proud. I now see how much effort that really takes. I learned more in this video than I did in 12 years of public school.

Love this kind of video!! Thanks for being old

Just an awesome video !

Liked it! Always like learning about how to do things that I've never done before!! Plus like seeing someone use almost every part of the animal! Next show the sinew process!

Awesome video! Will definitely be using this as a guide when I get another deer this year!

Love this stuff!

Good stuff! Keep up the hard work!

Loves these videos.

Awesome video!

Well done video! I really like this style, and actually prefer it at times. I did exactly what you said, sat back with cool one and enjoyed learning some good stuff. Keep it coming! 🤠

Love the video just fleashed out my first deer this year well and processed the the whole deer so you've given me ideas thanks keep it up

It's a simple process, but the labor and time is what defeats most people. Good things come to those who wait (and put in a little effort).

Great video.

I'm doing a beef hide right now. If ya put a bucket of wood ash in with your water it will slip faster and easier. It creates a sort of lye solution and dosent stink. It does stain the flesh side a bit but I just wash it a few times in oxiclean. Nice job...I hope this tip makes your next one easier.

love all your videos brother!! ... you could sit and throw rocks and just talk about random things.. and I'd still watch! Keep up the great content!

Good stuff. I have a couple of those pneumatic fleshing tools. They are really good for getting the hide super clean and thin. Makes the work a bit quicker then the draw knife.

Never hunted a day in my life, but watching the primitive style techniques and processes is just captivating. It's truly amazing how we angry apes on a big wet rock figured out all these amazing tools and tricks to survive. Love learning from all your outdoor videos.

Yes more

Hydrated lime or wood ash would help so much with that hair removal. Soaks in a day or two and hair comes right off.

I like the "grab a beverage" kinda video where your doing the work...LOL. they relax me because im on the go a lot. I hope to tag a deer here soon in West Texas, and plan to tan the hide this year (hair on). Are you seeing slow conditions and less deer overall this year? We certainly are. I only have a small spot to hunt (20 acres) but not seeing hardly any deer this year. Been 3 days since my last deer pic on camera, and ALL deer pics are showing at night.....UGGGG

Pretty sure you can see the cove with the leaves gone, must be awesome to just walk down to the water and start casting if you want to 🎣🦌🐗🦃🎣🙏

If you plan on doing this again in the future find a local trapper, they can teach you a lot about using and improving your fleshing knife and beam. Great job with what you had though!

Great video again but we miss LFD and his great knowledge.

I wonder if the hair would be long enough to make little hair jigs? Maybe little flies for fly fishing

great real world example of what to do with a hide. Ever make lures out of the deer (tail) hair? a jig or fly?

Great job shooting the deer. LFD. Gig em

You could also make bucktail jigs with the fur

Hey man, I’ve never done a deer hide but do you think scalding it would have made the hair come off easier? We do it to pigs all the time. Love the content, keep it up and keep living the dream!

I bet those skin scraps would make good catfish bait 😅👍

Use wood stove or campfire ash, and or quick lime. The lye in those things makes the hair slip much quicker 👍🏻

❤️

Cut the hide in a spiral, starting with the center. You’ll get more usable strips that way.

this is really cool. its a man's channel

When you are fleshing critters try using the sharp side to start the hide and push with the dull side for most of the critter. It will save time and you won’t have to touch up ur blade as much. 😉

The studying I have done the Indians and pioneers boiled the skin with the deer brain to soften it / ever thought sewing the green hide to the bow? when it drys and shrinks it will be one with the bow

Do you give the chickens what you don't use know that they can eat a lot of stuff just wondering 🤔

You should make a drum with a hide

Given the deer a haircut. Lol

Instead of trying to do the tail. Skin it off the bone, scrape off any excess meat, then stretch it and pin it to a piece of cardboard. Cover it in borax for a couple weeks and you have bucktail for tying flies and jigs

As many have said ash would work good an use there brains to tan it

I just did 3 hides back to back. Would not recommend it. Big time commitment. I did 2 hide on and the back half of my buck I tried leather. I used the NuTan and it worked pretty well. Their instructions on taking hair off worked real well. Like you said the hair on the back really hung on, but for me the rest basically fell out after a few days. I love these videos.

Love the educational side of it, but the voice-over sounded more scripted than your usual live monolog. I know you couldn't really talk while working in this case, but maybe try occasional updates in front of the camera while you work instead of the voice-over.

Real men flesh hides with their finger nails

Try nair, hair remover. 😂. Joking people relax.

Shouldn't that be smoked
