1st. Get some Steel Wool and Some Viniger and a Jar to Hold it in


Let it Sit in the Jar for a Few Weeks to a Few Months I Let My Batch Sit for 3 Months Untill I Used it for Tanning.
Vent the Mixture every few Days to expel any gasses that form in the Jar.
after a Few Months You Get this


Get another Jar and Filter the Nasty Bits and Sludge you get at the Bottom of the Jar.



After Filtering you Get this Ferrous Sulphate(Vinigeroo)



Her's Some Different Dyeing Darkness while it was Being Made

1 Week


3 Weeks


And After 3 Months (The Best and Darkest you'll get on the Leather


And Last But Not Least a Sheath Dyed With the Vinigeroo
I Used Brown Leather Dye to Splotch area on the Leather 1st. that's the Spots you see



This Is a good and Easy thing to Do if you have a Little one that needs a Science Fair Project Idea

This gathering is called RABBIT STICK. It is a gaterhing of people living for a week and attending different workshops on Native Tradition and with Native Tools. They show everything from basket weaving to making knives, to making clay bowl,
Go to youtube and type in Rabbit Stick and watch some of the videos.

Mainly, just wanted to point out that the winter hunting season has pretty much come to a close for this year in MI. Which means that the apparel and items that go along with it are clearanced out at most stores. Any items you were thinking to pick up, it'd be wise to go see what you can snag. ]]> B-urban83 http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?18395-End-of-Season-Clearance http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?18393-I-m-back.&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:14:16 GMT Just got done working the Mile 101 Checkpoint for the Yukon Quest. Had a blast but came home with a raging head cold. Luckily it didn't hit me until I got home. Nothing like severe sleep deprivation for lowering your immune system!

Where a normal person gets bit once or twice I will already have dozens of bites and look like an AIDS patient. One flea can annihilate me. They also seem to be much larger (about the size of a good mosquito bite) on me.

I kill lots of fur bearers that always have fleas. Is there anything besides wearing gloves I can do to protect myself further? Like something similar to a permethrin spray I could possibly spray on without hurting the fur/meat? I'm torn on the plague situation. From what i've read it's pretty rare. But i'd rather not take the chance.

I have noticed while digging and constructing shelters in my area the ground ( mostly sand with grass growing in it) is loaded with fleas in certain places as well. Is there any natural/ primitive ways to repel them, perhaps smoking yourself or something? IF one were to get infested with fleas while camping/outdoor situation what could they do to get rid of them? Can you drown them at all, or is that hopeless? ]]> RandyRhoads http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?18392-Fleas
