Ron you rock as far as hide handling instructions! But I have one burning question for you; How do you clean very old brain tanned molcasins , units that have years of dirt on them ?

Good luck 😢

So what the difference between this and hair on as far as quality and finish wise?

Yall have to put another in him?

The rifle shot at the deer by your girlfriend was similar to yours seen in the S2EP2. All rifles should be adjusted before each hunt with the ammunition you plan to use. On track for the right setting Justin. 🎯

Awesome video Justin Congrats❤

Great job proud of you both

this is about as complete a video on brain tanning i have ever seen.this fellow knows what he is doing and anyone who fallows this method is guaranteed to be succsessfull

remember me, I played hunter classic with you. But anyway keep up the good work.

Great job awesome video

👍👍

Lesgo!

Ron you are the best teacher i have had the pleasure to watch. I braintan buckskin for many years and back in the day a lot was trial and error. I think I got pretty good at it, but you showed me some important details that I never heard before. Love your frame setup! 😮 So thank you for sharing this!

I noticed some people oil the hides before smoking. Is the oiling not necessary?

Great video! .....love that work area !

Great job son

Every animal has enough brains to tan its own hides

You are welcome

I have a question I’m trying to use your videos to help me tan some deer skin so that way I can make clothing out of deer skin would this method help but doing so? If you can help me with some answers I would be greatly appreciate it

good shot thats what I'm talking about thats badass 👍👍👍👍👍

What paint do you take for deer hide

Can you smoke a hide that has been tanned with chemical tanning solution such as Truebond tanning solution

Are you going to be doing a hair on tanning video. I would like to know how to do one like that for a cape or jacket. Very informative video's . Please keep them coming.

Wonderful job. Very impressed.

My Dad always said, the best time to fish was in the rain. The fish can't see you he'd say. Looks like you guys prooved that!

You make this look too easy!. You definitely have a developed skill. Thanks Ron!

What a great tutorial! I’m inspired and I have two skins to tan. So, I have a good idea now what to do. It’s be a shame to burn them. Thank you. Everything you made is beautiful.

You said after you smoke the hide you wash it before you make your project? What do use to wash it with, what soap, warm or cold water? And do you have to stretch it again after washing?

Hi from Alaska! I'm Alaska Native and I'm tanning our Sitka black tail hides..small deers..lol. When you do the second brain dip, are you using the first solution brain and water, or you blending a new batch of brain and water? When you let the first brain ring out dry, about how long, till the blue hide part goes away? And last question, can you sand the dry raw hide in the neck and back area to thin it down a bit, on the flesh side? Thank you for being so thorough. I'll be making an iconic jacket lined with sea otter.

I was waiting to see how he tightened the strings when the hide was almost dry and it was edited out.

Are there benefits to letting th brain dry and stretching it as you mentioned? If I only had one hide and time to do it that way.

Are there benefits in the final product to shaving the hair while dry versus soaking it til it slips?

so much rain!

Great job Justin

P r o m o s m ✨

Great job !!

Great video buddy

Awesome series of videos. Very good teacher . I learned a lot from you and have tanned a couple deer and an elk so far. Have 3 more deer, 4 elk and a moose at the rawhide stage waiting their turn to be tanned.

These videos were very helpfull. Now I can properly tan hides. Finishing my third hide this week end and fixed four hides that I'd messed up with bark tanning and bad brain tanning.

Nice video!

I think I need more heat in my tanning trailer. Note to self more fire wood and h20 to drink.

Great video Justin Congrats!!

Nice job!

Very nice job with video and great hunt. Congratulations

Nice job !!

Good shooting bud

Beautiful buck! Congrats!

Amazing buck. Great video. Keep up the great work.

Hey there Wondering if it’s the same procedure with the hair on . Or what differences there would be .. I’m currently working on one and have concerns if I’m to do more or if I’m doing to much pushing ..can you stretch it to much in turn making it too thin that there is no fiber to work..? Would love to send you a picture or vid of my progress and maybe you would know what’s going wrong or right with it ..

Thanks for the great video. How tightly do you see the hide? It looks like it pulled apart pretty easy but I feel like if it’s too loose you might not keep the smoke in, right?
