Craig Fosse 286 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi guys, I shoot quite a few rabbits and really want to get into using its fur, I just think it would be a cool thing to do and maximise what I get out the animals, I shoot with an air rifle so can guarantee the fur to stay in a good order, Here's the problem I don't have a bloody clue where to start, The only time I have ever used one is in a survival exercise in the Royal Marines where u are stripped to a t shirt ans pants, searched so u hae nothing on u except a survival tin and given a rabbit and a chicken, and u live for 24 hours, in a group of about 6, now I remember using the rabbit fur and drying it as a hat and it was the warmest hat I have ever worn Can someone perhaps advise me in where to start etc etc, how to cut the fur properly and what stages to go through?
