Okay, I was reading through Cold Oceans by Jon Turk the other day and it told of how elderly Inuit women tanned caribou furs by chewing on them... well, that got me to testing >:D. I brain tanned a small strap of hide for a Quiver strap and I chewed on some rawhide in the mean time. WOW! The Inuit tan took less time, was easier, and alot easier for furs. Now if only I had a full deer hide to test out... ;D
-
Think I would draw the line at chewing my hides, bet them Inuit ladies had no teeth by age 30, something to think about eh ;D

Uh huh. Their teeth were worn nearly to the gums by the time they were in their 70's. But the spit is the main key, I spent most of my time just rubbing it by hand :).

Uhm! Keegan you missed the main ingredient in tanning hides the eskimo way. It not saliva that is the main ingredient but Eurik Acid. They, uhm, used their bodily wastes to tan the hides and then chewed them to soften them up to wear. Uhm, not something I really want to do really. :P

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D good luck buddy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

If you take this on you either raise the bar to a whole new level, or lower it. This all depends on your opinion of chewin on urine soaked deer hides. Personally I'll go for eggs or brain but good luck your young and adventurous.

I would think you would have a hard time fiting the whole hide in your mouth at once to chew it. Kind of puts a damper on your faster theory since I can cover it all in brains at once. Justin
-
P.A. did some articles on this in the past. I will list them if you all want. ;D
-
I would like pictures with those from step one through step whatever! >:D
Mr. Enormous BOBOK!

Ok Mr. D. TillerBokBok,
I just have a list of articles and don't know which ones will have the hide chewing info you so desire to see. So you may have to see what you have in past issues and find it ;D
Jeff Collins wrote Eskimo Armed Conflict vol. 7 iss. 2 page 17
Charles Grayson, M.D. wrote Eskimo Bows, Arrows, and Quivers volume 12 issue 5 pg. 9
Noah Wrightwell wrote Hunt or Die volume 12 issue 5 pg
Jeff Collins wrote Eskimo Bow Pt. 1 volume 6 issue 1 pg 26 Eskimo Bow Pt 2. vol. 6 issue 2 page 5 Eskimo Bow pt. 3 vol. 6 issue 3 pg 8
enjoy! ;)

Mr. BokBok
Not for free ::) ....obviously not too chicken to try that one ;D ...if you want them send a pm to SarahAnne or email her at sarah@primitivearcher.com
-

Mr. BokBok
You might as well just get the whole set of back issues. You will find another topic you want to read about and they wont have the issues anymore because you didn't get them when you should have. :'( Justin
-
Uric Acid huh? Guess it isn't a true Inuit tan then is it? Oh well. Just chewin' on it worked great. Hmm, I'll have to test it on a whole skin then... here deer, deer, deer... ;D
Oh well- chewing on a skin will give me somehting to do while sinew/staves/handdrills/etc. dry anyway;)
-
I'll send you a hide just to see a how to of somebody chewing on a P..... on deer skin. ;D >:D
-
Not to put a damper here but it was actually the women that did the chewing. I say Marie is the most qualified person here for this ;)
D Tiller. The name Eskimo is just not used anymore. It's Inuit

Maybe her bite is worse than her bark ::)
-
i never said nuttin' and i think ive had my abuse so have fun fellas. ;D
Nuttin' is exactly what I said and I got abused too. I would sure hate to be one of you fellers that's been running off at the mouth. :o
Dana, have you picked a plot at the cemetery yet. I wouldn't be using old girl to describe ANY woman. :-X Justin
-
amen brother
-
Amen,No Southern Lady should be treated to that kind of abuse. ;) Momma said they don't even say" yes Mam" up North.
-
Nah! Their too afraid to be called chauvanistic pigs. Where I was born we treats our ladies with RESPECT!!! Now I nead a beer! ;D
-
Hmmm. She hasn't come back yet. This is bad. Really bad. I'm glad that I will be gone for the next few days :)
-
>:D >:D >:D
when u least expect it....
-
Yea guys I called her an "ole girl" but Marie is a strong independent woman she can handle it. She usually gets the best of us in a battle of wits. ;D
Take a look back Marc started it, then bob's no teeth remark, then I called her an ole girl, jamie called all women crazy, justin you redirected this my way, thanks buddy,
Then eddie makes us Northern folk out to have no manners, which implies that our momma's didn't either because if we don't have any its because we wern't taught any. David called northerners chauvanistic pigs. So who's to blame here?
I'm sure Marie will get even with me, but don't believe for a second she's forgotten about you guys ;) remember she's sly like a fox and when ya least expect she will
strike like a rattler. So i would watch yer backs fellas. ;D Are we still having fun? :D
Name my penance Marie and no I won't paint yer house. ;D
-
By the way if you do see an Inuit Tanning forget about possible global warming I think we can designate it Global Broiling! ;D
-
Her bark is worse than her bite.....
actually her bark isnt that bad.....
-
Sure got quiet around here :-X
-
Everyone is just busy chewing on their thoughts I am sure. ;)
-

Speaking fer yerself David ? ;D.............bob

Too busy to write, been drinkin lots of beer in order to "produce" enough of the key ingredient for an extra large hide I found on the road side. It was a bit bloated from all the hot days we had but should work out just fine.

I think you were drinking lots of beer in order to produce the key ingredient to talk trash to Marie. ;D Justin
-
Well you guys just went too far insulting our all so nice, friendly and cute Calendargirl. We haven't seen her smile because she just doesn't want to dazzle us. She has been so helpfull and attentive and cheery and and and ::) :o :P ;D ;) ??? ::) 8)

Naw I an always take care of things...rememer the ash kickin' I gave y'all a while back? I am just on a mini road trip with kids to the aquarium in god ole Chattamanooga. Bless all the other cars on the road as I type. Kids do not try this at home...should only be done by a trained professonal!
Now I will leave you all to chew the fat a bit. ;D

exactly. Hey I thought I didn't do too bad considering I was driving over Monteagle Mt. >:D ;D
-
hey Marie,Did you see the big Snapping Turtle at the Aquarium.That was my wife's cousin's they raised from a baby.It ate in the kitchen out of a food bowl twice aday and was litter boxed trained.They donated it to the aquarium when it got too big to keep in the house and it could not live on it's own in the wild.It slept in a bed with the dog until it got so big the dog got pushed out.
-
you might be a redneck...................... ;D
-
Well they do live in Chattmanooga. And my wife just informed me it was donated when they found out it violated Federal game laws to have it.Why worry after about 15 years? ::)
-
Yeah we saw it! Very cool of course I am partial to 100 lbs alligator snapping turtles. but shouldn't you be posting about your family turtle under how super weird you are? >:D >:D
-
Wellllll, they are not really close family to me :)And I really didn't think it would cause that much excitement after I posted about the pet alligator.Oh didn't mention the 6 baby Opossums,or the calf in the garage,Or the two baby pigs that got ate,,,,eventually.
