| Indian Elder User ID: 141495 United States07/07/2008 12:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We use the brains of the animal, rubbed into the hide. Each animals brain is exactly the right amount to tan it...also when making boots, use pine pitch when rubberized paint isnt available to waterproof. Any native american arts and cultural site will give directions. If you dont want to make noise, use a snare, also at those sites. |

Quoting: Ishtahota 460460Boots are easy with imagination...but remember you arn't trying to get a Mike Jordan endorsement.... RE: Tanning. A secret recipe I learned in the mountains about tanning. 1) 5 gallon bucket water 2) 1 lb can of hay/rock salt 3) 1 lb can full of battery acid Mix in 5 gal. bucket add hide. Stir a couple times a day. 1) rabbit/fox/squirrel/small game 5 days 2) Deer 8-10 days 3) mountain lion 10-12 days 4) cow/moose/bear/large game 12-15 days Remember to stir/rotate daily (larger hides will take larger containers) This recipe will allow the hair to remain on and the hide will be fully tanned/soft comparable to cloth/quilt and ready to sew into boots and clothing. (note: if you want the hair removed simply leave in mixture 1 day longer than recommended) Ishtahota What's with the hay? |

| czygyny User ID: 418932 United States07/07/2008 01:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for the information. Raising sheep as I do, it would be a good thing to know how to cure the skins. I have tanned rattlesnake skins for years with a Tandy Leather tanning preparation, but those skins are small and easy to work. Makes good hatbands. There is also a recipe for tanning using your washing machine and uses Tide detergent and alum. Maybe I can find it again. |

Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman]. STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobacco is worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children. |
