A Field Guide for Hunters and Gathers
This DVD contains two hours & 20 minutes of step-by-step instruction, using the same detailed yet easy to follow style that the book is famous for, but with six years worth of improvements!
Novices get to see what each step looks like: what it looks like when the grain is coming off properly, how much effort goes into softening, what different odd textures on the skin mean, what good, pumping smoke looks like and on and on. This DVD is easily the most detailed, comprehensive and easy to follow guide to home tanning.
Experienced tanners will appreciate learning the tweaks and improvements that Matt has learned in the six years since he wrote Deerskins into Buckskins (and received ideas and feedback from thousands of tanners); including the 15 minute step that makes a whole series of improvements in the process: easier, more thorough brain penetration, easier to soften hides, and hides that turn out incredibly, incredibly, soft in the end! This is a must have DVD!
