PLEASE ask your kids about their favorite songs;ones they would like to have
played at the dance. When you get this info,email the site Admin through the “Contact Us”form or directly to the site organizer specified in the Yahoo Groups notice with titles and artists. The final play list is up to Jim,so even if you,the Parent,don’t know the song,he will Q/A it and make sure it’s PG-13 appropriate (I can’t understand the  words of many of the newer songs,so I just leave it up to him;some of the kids prolly don’t know what the words are,either,so I just don’t worry about ‘em at all,LOL).

Fur tanning without chemicals,pt. 1 The bushcraft or Woodsmans method…except I’m a Townie!

How I preserve the furs of animals I have shot,(2 grey squirrels in this video) I have not used any chemicals during this process,it is a natural process using salt &smoke (I have added in how I brain tan a hide too) This process does take some time so if your going to do it start it in the morning.

These furs when finished are very pliable,in part two I will show the smoking process &compare the finished product to bought,commercially tanned fur as a comparison.

I am still learning &am very interested to hear of any ways I can improve on this with out using chemicals such as alum etc. I want to be able to do this while away from home,such as on extended camping trips.

I made some crude soap from wood ashes and lard It did not look too pretty but it worked and I learned a couple of things about soapmaking the way it was possibly done in the pioneer days.

I only made a very small batch for experimenting but it would be easy enough
to increase the amount produced.
