Tanning Deer Hides Start to Finish! How Easy is This? | TUTORIAL | INDIGENOUS SKILLS | DIY

Kim, Brad and Memphis visit the Woodland Escape to learn how to tan deer hides. Peter has various hides in different stages of the process to better demonstrate each step from the raw hide to softened and smoked fabric. In order to make the process more accessible to our viewers, Peter has used modern products that are readily available ( Neatsfoot oil and ivory soap instead of brains and lime instead of wood ash).
Before leaving, our guests helped to stitch two bison hides into frames in preparation for tanning at a later date.
