That would be a Great Flintlock Muzzleloader hunting hat. A Coyote also . Thanks again.

Justin, I enjoy the heck out of your channel. I never know what you're gonna do next. Plus, I don't think there's probably a bad bone in your body, regardless of what your wife says. You know some folks can't help being smart alecks, even when they don't mean to be. It's a gift.

[@weedeater64]

His unpredictability is definitely part of what makes his channel great. I can only watch so many CatfishDave videos due to it being the same old thing time and again, even though I have mad respect for the guy.

That shines to this here chile...can't remember where I got it. Thanks for the how to.

Awsome Job right there , thanks for that session 👍 Lord bless ya'll.

Hey: I think it would have been cool to leave the front legs on as ear flaps with the paws still attached. I know it's easy to "Monday morning" quarterback when YOU aren't the one doing the work, which, by the way is fantastic, but still, a cool look! You have given me the faith in myself to try this. I believe what you said about this just being intimidating more than hard? I always had a hard time cutting into a good pelt. Great work. Keep 'em coming. God bless: Two Feathers

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I agree. The only hides i have tanned have the feet cut off. I found bugs eat the ones i did at first. I think i know how to save them now. Im gonna make a better one that was my first and i gotta work on design

[@lookoutmountaingarockhunte1300]

Excellent job looks professional to me probably better than what David Crockett had. I have always wanted to know how to do that now I know thank you! PLEASE KEEP PRAYING FOR MY SON. we need it he is in a bad way!!!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I sure will and thank you

[@lookoutmountaingarockhunte1300]

@@SpiritoftheOutdoors THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@larryreese6146]

You did a good job on that hat. I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Dearly loved Fess Parker and, as a kid,, always wanted a coon skin hat .Never got one. All I had to work with was a collie dog and I liked the dog. So it didn't work out. But, if I was you, I'd put a bill om that hat,, a soft one that wouldn't get bumped off in the brush. Keep the sun out of your eyes. I like it.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Thank you. I orta just send this one to you

[@larryreese6146]

@@SpiritoftheOutdoors well Justin. You've got a big heart. But you trapped that coon yourself and you did a good job putting it together. Plus, I'm not 5 years old anymore. But I'll tell you who might be tickled to have one, Brody.

That was a fun video. Your hat looks good, but now your going to have to make Brodie one. And the three things that always go in my pockets when I leave the house is my wallet, my keys and a pocket knife.

[@roberttompkins9991]

I came on here wanting to learn how to make a hat from stitched together tanned rat skin. Leaving all the tails on. Gonna call my product The Urban Outdoorsman. Doin it just to tick of of NYkers when I’m forced to go there. Think I got what I need to know now. And discovered it seems Jim Best has a long lost son. So Rosco, go bust them Duke boys while wearin that there Davey Crocket! AhGiGiGiGiGi

[@bluenovacorgi8230]

I love this video ! N i subbed cause i love your personallity or vibe idk what to call it but i like it n ill have to watch more of your videos !

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and joining the family

[@ToddOutdoors]

Excellent work there. Good project. Know what I mean Vern?

[@mariolopez-ri8wd]

Justin I like the way you did that hat but the problem is I dont know the size of any of them cut you did or how you figure out how to start can you explain to me how you actually start to finish the measurement of everything ..i thank you very much ex video from northern mi

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I measured around my head . Then divided measurement in half for two peices then add a quarter inch to each one if you stitch an 1/8 in from edge

[@jerryhuntjj2885]

I need one of those next time I'm bear hunting in the cold Georgia mountains

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yea it would keep that noggin warm

[@RonaldHuckabee-s8b]

Wax string it's very strong I believe you asked about it what it was

How to tan the skin?

[@PDX_Mycoo]

If you had the paws you could have made the tassels on the chin strap with those 😂... a little morbid maybe lol

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I may braid some buckskin

[@katiesioux7757]

I have to skin it first, I got it hanging and I hoped off the blood lol

[@katiesioux7757]

Hosed lmfao not hoped😬🤣😂 I'm wishing it away 🤣😂🤣😂

The 'guys' commenting you are unprofessional do so from the comfort of a warm room they never leave, probably in mommies house.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Most folks that think they know everything have never done much just watch it done and think they know how lol . Im just not as good as i wanna be so i keep making things to get better
