Oh

it's an internet survival scroll heís been drying for a few days it's do a little more work to absolutely love when the forest takes on these tones I think it's just the best color palette it has a few minutes ago I was walking in i spooked to whitetail doze beautiful looked like one was probably a mother the other one was a daughter almost much larger than the other but they both were an excellent shape it's like right behind me I'm not sure if they're still there or not because the trailer I took made a V I met him on the on the front part and they ran in towards this trail I don't know if they crossed it or not hopefully make an appearance alright it's actually a frequency warm out today it's really bizarre it's like 68 70 degrees out and maybe it was at five days ago there was 500 snow on the ground and it was 25 degrees so in five days we've gone from five inches of snow 25 degrees to 70 degrees really weird so my height is drying out now it's been a couple days and when I scrape it it turns white as I'm breaking through the layer

and powdery and it leaves the hide like velvety soft really kind of smooth really nice feeling instead of you know kind of cardboard II feeling so I'm going to just work on this today and work on slightly scraping I'm just using my more robust like you just lightly scraping it working on getting more areas of it white nice and soft some areas need more work than others obviously so that's what we're doing today just going real slow sometimes as ridges and valleys and you have to change your angle to get inside or else you'll you'll never get to the middle unless you wear down the two high spots so rather than do that I'll put a hole in the hide just change my angle I

I think it's really close to the edges I like to go towards the edges can't beat this you know it's 70 degrees out working on a hide you know sitting get the tree just spooked a couple dead my way in

a lot of leaves on the ground I love it so let's see we can do about the side now this hides in town a rough shape here I made a miscut skinning it this is the area I shot it in with the chest so that took that area up all that fur was gone able to hold here a little hole here I think there might be one over here its spinning its very close it wants to be a hole right there there isn't one yet so I've got a little spot here a little spot here got a slash through here I have to be really careful in this area so it's going to be going to be a challenge but we'll try to make it work

I'm just supplying the hirer neath while i scrape this wall little by little you get closer alright so that's a pretty good scraping session good majority of the hide is white now some areas still aren't as dry as the others so as time progresses I'll be able to scrape a little bit more make it better and better every single time until it's completely finished and ready to be used for the next step it's been mentioned in a survival see you in the next one take care
