In this video, I show you how to tan animal hides, especially deer hides, using Alum & Borax. It's a fairly simple process that doesn't require any previous experience. Just follow these simple steps and reward yourself with a hide that is great for camping, or just place it in front of your fireplace for your dog to lay on!
