This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in
Traditional Skills.
Leather is a tremendously useful material. Let's tan a hide!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Tan a hide
- At least 5 square feet
- Can be multiple hides
- Smoked
- Not from a domestic animal system (that is covered by the Animal Care badge)
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The hide you're starting with
- Fleshed
- Tanning mixture (brains, eggs, etc)
- Smoking
- Finished hide
