Great vids and great channel brotha! Keep up the good work! I have a bunch of hides in the freezer, and have been meaning to share our methods of stone tools brain-tanning and egg-tanning with our viewers. Now seeing your video, I am inspired! Thanks again for the great content! As we always say, "Keep the old ways alive!"

I got these out of order and can't find WHAT you use fr the solution. Is it just water or is a brain solution? This should be shown to every woman so that they can see what the old ones went through to get those wonderfully soft, beautifully white shins for moccasins! White women, think they have it rough but, if they were to have to do this every day, until all the hides were done, they would really KNOW what work is! I'm not a racist so, if you want to bang away at me, go ahead. I'm a quarter Cherokee, adopted Lakota and raise White! I know what I'm talking about on both sides of the issue and I have done this myself with Elk and Deer hides! You are a marvel, Robert! Thanks for showing us all the steps!

Ironically, I'm a white woman who does traditional brain tanning, because I don't know of any indigenous people who do it. The man who taught me was white, and I have yet to find anyone in our area who isn't too lazy to do it.

He never said .. But most hides are brain tanned, some people including Natives, will also add soap or even raw eggs. There's a real good video out on YT called something like Cree moose hide tanning ?? Which gives way more details.
