Do you need to cure it at all. Or is that what you’re doing?

This is just washing it. That is all.

Salt next, then use egg yolks, then fire smoke. And some stretching in between.

Very cool, are you going to make something out of it?

I have two more lambs of the same size to slaughter, wife wants to sow them all together to make a big rug. I told her she should sell them, but she wants to keep it because its young lamb wool and she usually gets game skins.

    Between home grown meat and game meat, it is hard to go back to super market meat.

    I got mine from IKEA.

    Same here, although it must be incredibly rewarding to produce one's own from livestock

    Yeah if you're a psychopath. You raise baby animals so they believe you're their mother but the whole time you plan to kill it, eat it and make ornaments out of its body parts. That kind of behaviour is associated with sub normal levels of emotional intelligence similar to that found in people with an under developed or damaged anterior insular cortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher level emotions like love and empathy. Damage to the AIC is also associated with things like autism and borderline personality disorder. This is probably why the world is full of so many evil people.

    Farming is the foundation of modern civilization, it is how we grew communities into cities and evolved from simply using tools to having enough food to feed entire countries. We are physiologically adapted to eating meats, and those who don't will generally suffer health consequences as a result. I fully support farming and farmers as they are providing a valuable service to my nation. If you feel otherwise, feel free to go fuck yourself with your illinformed opinions on the psyche.

    You sound detached enough from reality to believe in absolutely anything.

    Either that or you are so locked in to your own sanitised version of reality that you cant see what reality really is.

    If a leather jacket lasts you 10 years, think of the resources saved

    That's great, we paid nothing for these and if we were so inclined we could sell them. Probably for more than what you paid for at ikea.

    Also, there are many things in this world that provide absolute indications about a person. buying from Ikea is one of those thing.
