info needed on the steps of how to tan a hide

<< < (2/8) > >>

_Jon_:
Step One:  Find something you have that Pappy really really would like to have.

Step Two:  Offer to trade him that special something for a brain tanned hide.

Step Three:  After Pappy tells me I'm outa my mind, sit around the fire at Twin Oaks and ponder a moment.

Step Four:  Wait for Will to show up.

Step Five:  Offer a deal to Will in a trade for a brain tanned hide.

Step Six:  Sit and look deep into the fire with a Coor's and ponder some more.

Step Seven:  Give up the idea and frown at Will and Pappy as they roar with laughter at the silly but never the less wonderful offers.  :P

seabass:
sounds like experience talking Jon.and i have seen you at the fire drinking coors.did you ever get the hide?

Stringman:
Nice description, Jon!!! ;D ;D

You have just heard from (at least) 3 people who KNOW what they are talking about. I have read Mcphearsons book and it made the whole process very simple for me. I've only finished 5 hides, but that's enough to know that it is work. I have a whole lotta respect for those ambitious folks who finish multiple hides a year!!

_Jon_:
Naw no hide yet but one must always ponder and hope!   :)

Actually I never tried to dicker over a hide with Will or Pappy.  I been pondering it.   :P :P :P

I know it takes 30-45 hours to do one hide and I know for a fact Pappy and Will just put to much effort into tanning to even make an foolish offer.   ;D

_Jon_:
I have from time to time partaken of a Coor's while solving the worlds problems and ponderin with friends around the fire pit at Twin Oaks.   O:)
