Bushcraft Skills: Fish Skin Leather Catch and Cook Pallet Cabin

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Another bushcraft skills episode this time we make leather from fish skin. We fly fish for trout, catch them, cook them over a fire and then bark tan and oil tan the fish skins to make leather. We use oak tanning solution which we make from scratch. We then head to the pallet cabin to show the final leather skin and eat our catch. Vera: I wonder if the lighter coloured skins could be sewn or somehow glued together to be used in windows along with shutters. They would be opaque and used as a weather barrier and to simply let in light.

I was sooo disappointed! In the opening sequence, I saw that huge pot of cubed roast beef and you are pouring water over it, and I couldn't wait to see what we were eating! Oak Bark! ;-) lol. Thanks for a fascinating presentation. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for the drone footage of the lakes; you take me to places I will never get to see.

Perhaps a bit off subject but an old carpenter mentor of mine 40 years ago used shark skin for sandpaper on wood. He said different sharks and different parts of the body produced different grits. The stuff lasted forever, you could wash it off and keep on sanding.

Out of all the fish leather vudeos I have watched yours is by far the best. I have been wanting to make fish leather for a while now. Bark tanning looks the best way to do it.

Fabulous video! I am inspired!
That oiled rawhide translucent fish skin would make a nice covering for a Saxon-style box candle lantern for your lovely cabin!

Here in Norway, fish skin were used to make shoes during World War II. Have also heard that clothes were made of fish skins.
