Brain Tanning a Deer Hide

Brain tanning is a unique process that is thousands of years old. In this video I show you my process for tanning a deer hide with pig brains. Please forgive the lack quality on the audio. I had to film in my backyard and the level of overall noise pollution is maddening. I regret the sacrifice but I have to do it to get the video out. It is my hope that it will be of value to some folks who are on the fence about giving it a whirl.
