RE: Stone Cooking Pits and Hide Tanning: Primitive Skills Inspiration
Good to see a post from you!
I love the Earth's Children series and have all 6 of them. I've read them several times over. I was always fascinated by all the things Ayla knew and did.
Hope you post about how the deer meat came out.... And what you use the buckskin for.
hey there! cool! yeah it's an intriguing series - i loved it and will reference it for years to come, i'm sure. i wont make a post per say about how the deer came out, but i can tell ya now! it was a bit undercooked for our liking so we cooked it up a bit more in the cast iron. the flavor, however, was phenomenal! i will try this method again and perhaps put more hardwood in the fire to start to get some stronger coals. i'm excited to see what i use buckskin for as well. i have a guy not too far from me that has about 7 hides and i've put word out to hunters - and hopefully we'll get some deer this year. i may make a tunic, shorts, a breech cloth for ini -- so many possibilities. hope you're well and will have to stop by to see how your addition is doing!
So cool, making clothes from the hides!
It's coming along, but the weather has turned and it's a race we aren't sure we're going to win....
