Salt Preserving an ELK hide to last for YEARS

How to salt an animal hide that will last for years, the great part is that you don’t have to flesh the hide first, meaning you don’t need to remove the meat membrane attached to the inside. Great survival technique to save freezer space and prepare for hide tanning.

Awesome ! That’s how my grandpa preserved his hides. We all would love to see more videos!

2:00 Most salts are hydrated. First put it on fire for 30 minutes to get rid of water already captured by salt. Then wait for it to cool down to body temp. Then use it. This will increase your success rate A LOT!

Yeah right! You’re just as good, the stars haven’t aligned yet, we get lucky all the time

What I wondered myself is how much salt you could even get in a real survival situation. Isn’t smoking also a good preservation technique? Or making pemmican?
